“…they need to know the person with dementia will be well treated and that staff have high competence in dementia care (Tretteteig et al, 2016). Additionally, the existence of a tailored program based on specific knowledge of the person's needs and a feeling of shared responsibility with staff are described as examples of good quality (de Jong & Boersma, 2009;Phillipson & Jones, 2012).…”

“…A review of the international literature made by the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Service (NOKC) (Reinar, Kirkehei, Dahm, & Landmark, 2011) concluded that day care designed for people with dementia might contribute to reductions in the incidence of behavioral problems (Ishizaki et al, 2002), improve perceived quality of life for people with dementia (Strandenaes, Lund, & Rokstad, 2017) and decrease the burden of care (Ishizaki et al, 2002;Mossello et al, 2008;Zarit, Kim, Femia, Almeida, & Klein, 2014;Zarit, Stephens, Townsend, & Greene, 1998). As a respite and support service for caregivers, day care has the potential to provide a feeling of safety and relief, reduce the feeling of burden and provide support in their role as caregivers (Gustafsdottir, 2014;Tretteteig, Vatne, & Rokstad, 2016). However, caregivers may feel reticent about day care (Tretteteig et al, 2016;Zank & Schacke, 2002) while people with dementia may be reluctant to attend (Durand, James, Ravishankar, Bamrah, & Purandare, 2009;Huang, Griva, Bryant, & Yap, 2017;Nogales-González, Losada-Baltar, Márquez-González, & Zarit, 2014).…”

Potential benefits from day care attendance are reported in the literature for both people with dementia and caregivers, although the evidence-base is limited. The study aimed to explore and compare experiences of day care services for people with dementia as described by day care attendees and their caregivers in Norway and Scotland. Whereas day care receives prominence in Norway's national plan, Scotland does not highlight day care in its national dementia strategy. A qualitative cross-national comparative study was undertaken. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 17 people with dementia and 17 caregivers in Norway, and 19 people with dementia and 15 caregivers in Scotland. Data were analyzed thematically and comparatively to explore the experiences and outcomes of the participants.Findings indicate positive outcomes from day care for both people with dementia and caregivers. Satisfaction with services related to meaningful activities, getting out of the home, strengthening social connections and careful staff facilitation to create a positive and welcoming atmosphere. There were strong similarities in the content of services and experiences reported in the two countries. Some minor differences were noted, with caregiver support being an area of notable divergence in experiences.Specialist day care for people with dementia seems to provide important support and positive outcomes for people with dementia, and respite and reassurance for their caregivers. More research is needed to further explore the effect of day care designed for people with dementia both on the attendees and their caregivers.

“…To reduce institutionalization and help persons with dementia remain at home for as long as possible and to prevent health issues amongst informal caregivers, there is a trend towards increased attention to and use of day care services as an important area of community services [4] [5] [6]. The purpose of this kind of service is to offer meaningful activities to persons with dementia while providing respite care for informal caregivers [7] [8] [9]. In people with dementia, both verbal expressions, e.g.…”

Day care services for persons with dementia are becoming an important aspect of community services. Place, therefore, becomes vital concerning how such establishments are organized regarding both the physical and social environment and the programs that are offered. The aim of this study was to describe the influence of place on everyday life in two different organized daycare services for persons with dementia. Based on observations and informal conversations with persons with dementia and staff members at a green care farm and a regular day care, we used an inductive manifest content analysis. The analysis reveals a main category: enabling and collaboration in daily life. The results are discussed in light of Goffman's analysis of the structures of social encounters from the perspective of the dramatic performance. The main findings in this study involve how place contributes to enabling activities and collaboration between participants and staff, as it influences participants' ability to achieve an active or passive role in everyday life at the day care services.

Costs of formal and informal care at home for people with dementia: ‘Expert panel’ opinions from staff and informal carers

et al. 2016

Effective home support in dementia is key in delaying nursing home admission. However, home support is frequently not tailored to the individual needs of people with dementia. Staff allocating home support services may not identify important care needs, which only be recognised by informal carers.The purpose of this study was to explore the balance of informal and formal home support and their associated costs from the perspectives of both informal carers and paid staff. Five case vignettes of people with dementia were designed based on an existing English data set from a European study into transition into long-term care (the RightTimePlaceCare programme), representing 42 per cent of the English sample. In total, 14 informal carers and 14 paid staff were consulted in separate groups, as expert panels, regarding their recommendations for home care services for each vignette. Care recommendations of carers and staff were costed based on nationally available unit costs and compared. Informal carers allocated fewer hours of care than staff. Personal and domestic home care and day care centres were the most frequently recommended formal services by both groups, and some vignettes of people with dementia were recommended for care home admission. The ratio of costs of informal versus formal support was relatively equal for paid staff, yet unbalanced from the perspectives of informal carers with a greater proportion of formal care costs. Recommendations from this study can help shape dementia care to be more tailored to the individual needs of people with dementia and their carers.
