Care Interior Designer Appointed as ‘Dementia Friendly’ Champion

Access 21 Care Interiors who work exclusively for the care sector has been appointed to the growing network of champions of Dementia Friendly Surrey.  Created in support of the Prime Minister’s Dementia Challenge, the partnership project aims to develop dementia friendly communities where people with dementia, their families and carers are understood, valued and can enjoy life.

The project advocated by Surrey County Council and three of Surrey’s Clinical Commissioning Groups, focus on the main areas for action: driving improvements in health and care, creating dementia friendly communities and improving dementia research.  In England there are an estimated 670,000 people living with dementia and with an ageing population this is only going to rise

Surbiton-based Access Care 21 Interiors works with clients across the UK designing across a full range of care schemes including general/extra care, nursing, learning disabilities, supported living, palliative and dementia.  In their role as Champions, Access 21 Care Interiors are offering free telephone and email advice to individuals who want to make their own homes more dementia friendly.  

Eda Brooks Projects Director, Access 21 Care Interiors says: “We are pleased to be supporting Dementia Friendly Surrey as we believe in the ethos of improving standards for individuals with dementia.  We are delighted to be publicly recognised as local champions for this worthy cause and  with a specialist knowledge of dementia design and audits with many years’ of experience, we as a company understand the importance of creating a safe and stimulating environment whilst encouraging independence. This campaign is a great way to raise awareness of dementia and how local communities can gain a greater understanding and support.”
