Summary
This Housing Learning and Improvement Network (LIN) report was created originally for the Yorkshire and Humber Dementia Alliance programme and has been updated by the ADASS Housing Policy Network / Housing LIN.
The report examines recent developments in housing policy and practice with respect to supporting people with dementia. Housing conditions and access to appropriate care and support can play a significant role in the ability of people with dementia to remain independent.
