Mouth care resources to support people with dementia at home 

The University of Portsmouth’s SORTED Project (Improving Social Care practice in integrating mouth and teeth care in personal care for people living with dementia) has shared two free resources for homecare services supporting people living with dementia. 

The resources are aimed at homecare managers and homecare workers, and are intended to help integrate mouth and dental care into personal care for people with dementia who live in their own home.
