This resource is aimed at both care providers and carers focusing on the key messages from the dementia quality standard and explaining how each quality statement relates to each audience. It provides links to key resources, further information, and practical tools relevant to carers and care providers. Drawing on existing guidance, NICE quality standards describe the high priority areas for quality improvement using a set of specific, concise and measurable statements. They cover: discussing concerns about possible dementia; choice and control in decisions; reviewing needs and preferences; leisure activities of interest and choice; maintaining and developing relationships; physical and mental health and wellbeing; design and adaptation of housing; planning and evaluating services; independent advocacy; and involvement and contribution to the community.
