Former First Minister, Henry McLeish launches advanced dementia care report to address unfair costs of care

Alzheimer Scotland responds to the Scottish Government’s announcement to recommence family visiting and communal activities for people living in Scotland’s care homes.

This report sets out an integrated and comprehensive, evidence-based approach to supporting people with dementia living at home during the moderate to severe stages of the illness.

From getting a diagnosis, to getting support, to end of life, this section includes information and advice for anyone living with dementia, worried about their memory or caring for someone with dementia.

The report shows the importance of getting care right, against the costs at a human and resource level of getting this care wrong, as indicated by the number of people with dementia in acute hospitals.
