Dementia (health and wellbeing needs in South Tyneside)

Consideration should be given to the following unmet needs:

• Articulate the needs of LGBTQIA+ residents.
• Examine how changes in technology, housing, and new financial instruments could support the needs of a growing and ageing dementia population.
• Articulate the needs of Ethnic Minority Communities.
• Consider the ability to information the information and advice available at the start of the caring journey - to help people have a better understanding of the caring role and can continue to lead an independent life, including work if desired, outside of their care responsibilities.
• Development of home-based support, to support carer breaks and for those that do not wish to attend community based social groups.
