Commissioners work with their local populations and partners to shape local services to meet the needs of people living with dementia. Commissioning better care for people with dementia places a much stronger emphasis on understanding the choices that service users and carers want to make, as well as a greater focus on supporting people to achieve the outcomes they want.
These services are generally designed around three principles:
- Assets-based: using, and drawing on a person’s assets and strengths, and those of their families, friends and community.
- Proactive: understanding current needs, thinking ahead and anticipating change, and planning for the future.
- Effective: ensuring that safe and effective services and support are in place.
