Dementia Pilot in Fife

Monday, 01 June 2009 08:59

I think it is positive to try out various solutions to enable those with mild dementia to continue living independently within their own home. The benefits of being able to take a stroll and continue to interact socially outside their home must surely help to manage/delay the progress of the condition and be better than containment/isolation, providing a good risk assessment has been undertaken and everyone has been included in the process.

These sort of devices have been around for some time in various forms and of course rely on the user remembering to wear/take it with them if they are living alone.

It would be good if some sort of larger trial is undertaken and evaluated. Carry on Fife.
