1 Making Surrey a dementia friendly county The information in this document has been adapted from a toolkit created by Hampshire County Council, the Local Government Association and Innovations in Dementia. Dementia currently affects some 800,000 people in the UK. It is progressive, meaning that it starts off with very mild symptoms and gets worse over time. There are many forms of dementia, but all are diseases of the brain which can cause problems with memory everyday tasks, like handling money communication skills perception.
2 Why does my business need to be dementia friendly? By encouraging your business and staff to be dementia friendly, you re making a commitment to support people with dementia, helping to make it easier for them to use your service. Benefits can include: you will be able to maintain your existing customers who might have, or be developing dementia. If they don t find your business easy to use or supportive they will probably go elsewhere. you ll attract new customers people who have dementia or care for someone who does will recognise your business as leading the way in supporting people with the condition. your business may have a community charter, or a community benefit component to your quality assurance programme. Making it easier for people with dementia to use your business will be evidence of your community contribution or involvement. it will help with compliance to the Equality Act if your staff are unsure on how to best serve customers who have dementia, it may affect the service they give. In addition it could cause significant delays to other customers.
3 How can I make it easier for people with dementia to use my business? There are a number of things you can do fairly easily and cheaply in order to help people with dementia. Ask people with dementia what it s like to use your business. You may already know people with dementia. If so that s a great place to start. People with dementia will often be able to tell you directly which aspects of your business they find easy to use, and which present barriers to them. If you don t know anyone with dementia that you can ask, why not contact Dementia Friendly Surrey who may be able to put you in touch with someone with dementia? (See overleaf) Have a look around at your buildings and facilities are they dementia friendly? There are often some very simple changes that can be made to create an environment that is much easier to navigate for people with dementia. Dementia Friendly Surrey can give you more information about this. Check whether the information you are providing about your business is dementia friendly and easy to understand. A rough guide for businesses wanting to make their information dementia friendly is available on request from steve@innovationsindementia.org.uk Raise your awareness of dementia. People with dementia often say that it s the attitude of people they encounter which has the biggest impact on their lives in their community.
4 Across the country dementia friendly communities work has shown that employees with good people skills or organisations with a strong focus on customer care may already have many of the key attributes or skills they need to be able to support people with dementia as customers. However, a basic understanding of the impact of dementia and how to support people can make a huge difference both to the experience of the customer, and to that of the staff involved. People living with dementia may experience a range of problems associated with dementia that have the potential to impact on their ability to interact with people they meet or do business with. Similarly those they encounter may be unsure how and whether to help people who appear to be experiencing difficulties. People with dementia all differ in the way they experience the disease, but generally speaking in public situations people with dementia may have a range of difficulties which include: problems remembering what they are doing difficulties in communicating clearly problems handling money problems navigating in complex or confusing environments. How staff respond to people who may be experiencing these kinds of problems makes the biggest difference.
5 Employment and dementia Dementia can develop in people aged under 65. This is called early onset dementia. Almost 18% of people diagnosed with dementia under the age of 65 continue to work, but they may experience problems at work as their dementia progresses. As an employer you must be prepared to support employees who are diagnosed with dementia or who are a carer for someone with dementia, including the need to make reasonable adjustments to ensure the employee is not disadvantaged. More information about employment and dementia can be found on the Alzheimer s Society website Find out more about Dementia Friendly Surrey at or dementia.friendly@surreycc.gov.uk
6 Did you know? Around 15,000 people in Surrey aged over 65 have dementia that s one in 13 older people. The prevalence of dementia in Surrey is expected to grow by 25% by In a national survey of people with dementia 61% felt that their community doesn t understand how to help them to live well. 41% felt that they do not have a voice in their community. In a YouGov poll 75% of the general public felt that society was not geared up to deal with people who have dementia.
