DCU dementia

 Training staff to deal with customers with dementia. 

The onset of dementia generates a great deal of fear and concern for all those involved. There are fears and concerns for the individual who gradually realises that a deterioration is occurring; for family members or significant others especially those who become primary caregivers and for health service providers involved in the diagnosis, support and on-going care of the individual and his/her family.

Dementia Elevator aims to prepare communities and health systems to respond to people with dementia in a way that reduces excess disability. The main motivation is to achieve ageing in place for people with dementia by ensuring that there are people with the right skills to make staying at home a more obvious choice than is currently the case.
