I recently came across this article/podcast about dementia care on 'The Sunday Edition' of 'CBC Radio' which I think you will find interesting. It proves that in so many cases that a good quality of life can be extended for dementia sufferers. It takes a bit of thinking
outside of the box, with a lot of the old myths and care practices being blown away, treating the person rather than the disease is the key.
Unfortunately I can't see the U.K. government funding such a scheme (not at present anyway) but it would be a wonderful role model for many of the more progressive care home facilities around the world to take up. Anyway, see what you think by reading and listening to the article (not sure if the podcast is available in all countries!) here at
CBC Radio ~ Sunday Edition.
