Outcomes for people with dementia
By 2014, all people living with dementia in England should be able to say
I was diagnosed early
I understand, so I make good decisions and provide for future decision making
I get the treatment and support which are best
for my dementia, and my life
Those around me and looking after me are
well supported
I am treated with dignity and respect
I know what I can do to help myself and who
else can help me
I can enjoy lifeI feel part of a
community and I’m inspired to give something back
I am confident my end of life wishes will be
respected. I can expect
a good death
