This paper proposes a model that focuses on improving experiences and designing services that aim to achieve person-centred outcomes related to the dementia journey. If commissioners and service developers adopted this model, they could consider a range of services with a clear remit where people living with dementia and practitioners and providers alike know what to expect, what can be achieved and how, and where their relative contributions are valued.
Applying this kind of revised model of care for dementia will differ in each health and social care community. Nevertheless, there are some good indications of which services might be needed to deliver the suggested outcomes.
