£50m dementia care fund
More than 100 hospitals and care homes across England have been awarded a share of a £50m fund to create pioneering care environments designed with the needs of people with dementia in mind.
Special dementia wards to be available in hospitals
Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital is one of those that will receive the funding and will it for a new project to support the hospital's existing care provision for dementia patients.
Currently, this features a specially designed ward environment with colour-coded bays and symbols to help patients remember their way back to their bed and using blue wristbands for dementia patients so staff can easily identify them.
