Paradoxically, as is often the case, we seem to have more activity going on in the farther reaches of the UK than we do on our own doorstep. But that’s all changing it seems, with a fantastic project to build #Extracare homes in North Yorkshire.
I recently attended the launch of North Yorkshire County Councils initiative to create a ‘collective’ of working partnerships enabling the best people in the field to collaborate in creating 30 new homes across the North Yorkshire region over the next 5 years.
Naturally, I was delighted to see that ‘Find’ products were specified in their presentation as examples of good practice where #dementia is going to be catered for, and I’m looking forward to being involved in the partnerships as they develop.
It’s a great drive and so wonderful that they can fund this initiative in these difficult times. Furthermore, I believe this is the first such project to be undertaken by a local authority in the UK although I think one or two others are in the pipeline in other parts of the country.
