Becoming a dementia friendly housing, care and support organisation

Join our initiative striving to empower dementia-friendly housing, care, and support services. We work with national and local bodies to deliver evidence-based public care. As part of Oxford Brookes University, we offer consultancy, training programs, research, and media design services. Our current challenge is to develop responsive strategies for dementia care. We aim to identify needs across housing and care services, understand prevalence rates, and enhance services for individuals and carers. Through interviews and surveys, we assess our current status and define priorities for improvement. Looking ahead, we seek to implement effective changes that prioritize customer satisfaction, affordability, and broader system impact. Our approach focuses on quick wins, awareness raising, service redesign, and collaboration with other agencies. Share your insights and experiences with us to drive meaningful transformation in the dementia care landscape.
