Summary
Literature review concerning day-care provisions for sufferers of dementia, conducted as a preliminary to an SSI inspection in Northern Ireland.
Context
The Northern Ireland population over 65 has doubled in the twentieth century from 6% to 12%, while the vast majority of dementia sufferers are cared for in the community, with families as the main carers. However, day case services for this population have been relatively underfunded and lacking in strategy.
Contents
Report discusses the condition of dementia, ethical considerations, and policy and practice issues related to day-care provision and issues relevant to inspections.
Conclusion
The literature review contributed to the formulation of questions about day centres and providing agencies, to be put in the course of the subsequent inspection.
