Please correct me if wrong. I believe that a dementia friendly society should have a facility for carers and their charges to go to at varied times in the week in every small area or settlement in the country.
Unfortunately dementia cafes are well spread out as are carers groups. They depend on which council rates are paid to. Also they only appear once a month in some areas and if your charge is unwell or not up to it you miss out. True dementia friendly society would also have a bigger variety of activities on offer for the dementia patient.
The patient and sometimes more so the carer need social contact with others in the same boat.
Any thoughts??
