| Annotation | JRF's Dementia without Walls programme started in 2012 with a vision of the UK as a good place for people with dementia to live. Working with the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, the JRF committed to becoming a more dementia friendly organisation, both as a provider of services and as and employer. The work sought to achieve a number of specific objectives: to involve people with dementia in this process of change; to engage with staff and influence/challenge perceptions and understanding of the experience of living with dementia; to support individual staff who are directly affected by dementia themselves; and to have a practical and permanent influence on all their service provision. This paper uses examples of projects and activities to share the lessons that have been learnt. (NH/RH). |
