With an aging population and improving treatment, we can expect more and more people in the Borough to have their lives touched by Dementia. This might be as a patient, as a carer of a person living with Dementia or a provider or services or local community groups.
As a carer, if you are either looking after someone, or have looked after someone with a diagnosis of Dementia, then we would really like to hear from you.
Trafford Carers Centre is working in partnership with other providers to develop a new Dementia Strategy for Trafford Council. We are working with:
Trafford Council - Public Health Team
Trafford CCG
Age UK Trafford
Alzheimer's Society
To improve the " Living well with Dementia - A Strategy for Trafford " we appreciate that your experiences are key in developing a Strategy that provides the best framework for support for patients with Dementia and the unpaid carers that support them at home.
As such your experience is key, we would like to hear from you; what you experienced prior to diagnosis, during the diagnostic process, and living with and supporting someone with Dementia.
Each experience is key to understanding how to deliver support to both the patient and the person providing care. In order to ensure that people live with Dementia in Trafford, we hope that this survey will inform and support the development of the new Strategy.
Please complete this questionnaire, which will be held in confidence, we will only collect and develop themes from this data, no individual data will be identifiable in any reports generated. If you need assistance to complete this survey, please contact the Carers Centre on 0161 848 2402
