The church leaders’ commission will recommend more resources to make society ‘welcoming and safe’ for those affected
Society must stop treating people with dementia as a burden and provide better care for them in the community, an inquiry into social care commissioned by the archbishops of Canterbury and York will say in the new year.
The church leaders’ Reimagining Care Commission will argue: “We are too quick to dismiss people who have dementia as burdens to be managed, failing to recognise the value and dignity of every human being, of all ages and abilities.”
