| Annotation | About 6% of people aged 65+ will develop some degree of dementia, increasing to about 20% over the age of 85. Not unsurprisingly, the percentage of older people in care homes with dementia is substantially higher - as much as 75%. This article looks at three schemes that aim to preserve the safety and dignity of people with dementia in care homes and the community: the Safely Home Scheme, Torbay; the Dining with Dignity training programme run by Anchor Trust's Specialist Dementia Team (SDT); and Trinity Lodge, a specialist dementia care home built by Anchor Trust. (RH). |
