Summary
The Alzheimer’s Society wants local authorities in England to remove barriers which may prevent people with dementia having access to personal budgets. Less than one-third of people receiving social care support for problems relating to memory and cognition have such personal budgets.
A personal budgets guide, entitled “Making personal budgets dementia friendly” clarifies how councils might improve the personal budgets application process for people with dementia and their families / carers.
