Presentation: Dementia Friendly Homes Project
Minutes:
A presentation was given by Stewart McIntosh of North Herts Crossroads Care on the Dementia Friendly Homes Project supported partly through the District Offer Phase One funding. Members were provided with background information which led to the development of the project, funding sources and successes achieved so far.
Members sought and were provided with clarification on a number of issues, including to name a few, how the project operated, who benefited and how the Council could work with the project in ensuring individuals needing help could be referred.
The Committee received the presentation and supported a suggestion that a mechanism be put in place to aid sustainability of the Dementia Homes Project and to increase referrals from Bishop’s Stortford, Sawbridgeworth, Buntingford and rural areas in order to raise awareness of the service, especially amongst those living in assisted living facilities.
