The Innovation School collaborated with Anderson’s Care Home to innovate perceptions of ‘care home’ by exploring community connections and social wellbeing, and identifying ways in which human rights can be practically applied for people affected by dementia. The project was funded through the ‘Rights Made Real in Care Homes’, Life Changes Trust programme and aimed to involve the wider community to diversify Anderson’s and develop a roadmap that demonstrates opportunities for integration with the community as a way to support public understanding of dementia and promote positive attitudes.
This report presents the findings from an evaluation of the project at the end of its delivery (October 2019). The evaluation aimed to capture progress, evidence of impact and key learnings from the co-design and development of a rights-based approach within the care home context.
