Ageing is a fact of life for all of us and yet it is often something which many of us struggle to accept. When you consider that dementia affects 46m people worldwide, a number expected to increase, the need for us to improve products and environments couldn't be more crucial. Through the use of inclusive design, we can remove many of the restrictions from our environments and products, without compromising the beauty and functionality of the designs desired.

Between 5% and 15% of people living with a dementia receive a diagnosis of a rare, inherited or young onset dementia.

It is important we have an increased awareness into these types of dementia, as sadly they will become more common in years to come.

Rare, inherited and young onset dementia forms an important section in DSDC's Best Practice in Dementia Care Learning Programme. Find out more 👉 https://ow.ly/yRrg50ZscE6

Exposure to bright morning light, in particular, triggers a burst of energy that makes people active. At the same time, it contributes to good quality sleep by training the circadian rhythms and reducing the incidence of any symptoms of seasonable depression.

How prepared do you feel the social care sector is, both long term care and community care, to respond to the individual needs of LGBTQ+ people?

Truth is, many of us are unprepared. Addressing the needs of LGBTQ+ individuals within social care is crucial for fostering an inclusive and equitable society. LGBTQ+ people often face unique challenges, including discrimination, stigma, and social isolation, which can significantly impact their mental and physical health.
