I want to complain about this content:
No one appears to be mentioning money and how much it actually costs to provide good dementia care.The Joseph Rowntree Foundation helped create a toolkit for determining a 'Fair Price for Care'. According to this the most basic of homes for dementia should be receiving £555 per week for a dementia client and yet the County Council rate pays £429 per resident per week. This is totally unrealistic to provide a good quality of care and so private clients and families who can pay a 'top up' make prop up the system. (Incidentally Police Commissioner, NCC pays its own Norse dementia care homes an average of £610 per bed per week whether the bed is occupied or not!)
