Learning from the UK Community Care Intervention Experience in Dealing with the Risk of Dementia

Abstract

This paper uses a comparative research method to examine the example of the UK community care interventions to address the dementia risk. Based on the ideas of “de-institutionalization movement” and “welfare pluralism”, this paper analyzes the barriers to the care of dementia in China's community elderly care service from three perspectives: policy design, role orientation of community residents committee and civil organization intervention. Suggestions were made to give play to the leading role of the government, to clarify the orientation of community care responsibilities, and to create a community environment for dementia-friendly communities.
