This PAS provides recommendations for those involved in developing a dementia-friendly community, what areas of a community to consider and what changes to expect as a result. People with dementia and carers are an integral part of each stage of the process.
It covers:
-
how to develop a dementia-friendly community by engaging community stakeholders;
-
areas for action within the community that are meaningful to people with dementia;
NOTE Areas for action include, but are not limited to:
-
arts, culture, leisure, and recreation;
-
businesses and shops;
-
children, young people and students;
-
community, voluntary, faith groups and organizations;
-
emergency services;
-
health and social care;
-
housing; and
-
transport.
-
opportunities for promotion, information sharing and awareness raising, during the development process, and as major accomplishments are completed;
-
what to expect as a result of developing a dementia-friendly community.
NOTE Although the process of becoming a dementia-friendly community continues to evolve over time.
-
It is for use by participants engaged in a stakeholder engagement process.
NOTE 1 Stakeholders may include representatives from the community, and representatives from small and large shops, businesses and industries, local and regional governments, educational institutions, community services such as fire, police, libraries, museums, and the voluntary and faith sectors.
It does not cover a specific checklist of what to do.
NOTE 2 Each community stakeholder group is encouraged to embark on the development process to determine their own aims and priorities considering the needs from the perspectives of people with dementia living in the target community.
