Making Change Happen for nearly 40 Years.

Help us continue making things better for people with dementia and their carers

The Dementia Services Development Trust celebrates nearly forty Years of making things better for people with dementia and their carers.

Starting with research and teaching, the Trust changed the way people think about building design, health and social care policy and improvement in health and social care services.

Looking forward, we will support fundamental change in the way people think about dementia

The Power of “Power of Attorney”.

A Power of Attorney comes in to play at a point in life that can be challenging for all involved.

The document is one way of being legally authorised to manage the money and property or health and welfare of a person when they lose the mental ability to do so personally.

Take me with you.

In the early days of the Covid-19 lockdown, Raindog Production and the Dementia Services Development Trust brought together a group of writers and actors to collaborate to tell the unfolding story of what was happening to people with dementia in care homes, and how this was affecting their families, and the care home staff. The story is still worth telling today.
