 Should care staff receive compulsory dementia training?
700,000 people in the UK have dementia and over a third of those live in care homes. The Alzheimer's Society launches a report this week into the quality of that care. Called 'Home from Home' it suggests that many homes are still not providing the level of person centred care people with dementia deserve.
Jo Swinhoe from the Alzheimer’s Society and Dr Graham Stokes, Senior Consultant Clinical Psychologist, South Staffordshire Healthcare NHS Trust and Head of Mental Health, BUPA Care Homes, join Jenni to discuss what kinds of changes would improve the quality of care.
