Alzheimer Scotland Report
Personalisation provides choice and control to the social care user, with services that orientate around their lives; it can be considered a right of citizenship. It is not just about what services can do, but about ensuring that services work with the natural support provided by people’s friends and family and with wider community resources.
However, personalisation is not widely practiced; very few people with dementia and their carers in Scotland have genuine control over the support they receive.
This report identifies the barriers that limit the wider implementation of personalisation and provides key recommendations that will enable the majority of people with dementia and their carers to personalise their care and support so that it is meaningful to their lives.
