THE SDLP’S Mark H Durkan is backing a petition to have Dementia Villages establihed in the North of Ireland.
Said the Foyle MLA: “I would be grateful if people could take a minute to sign the below petition, calling on Health Minister Robin Swann to consider the introduction of Dementia Villages.
“This would provide a gated community where dementia patients and healthcare professionals live with its own cinema, restaurants, shops, launderettes etc.
“In this secure environment patients can freely explore and have some semblance of independence.
“Addressing effective social care for the elderly and dementia sufferers is already a challenge.
“It is crucial that creative solutions such as dementia villages are sought.”
