Our Dementia-Friendly Environment Audit Checklist is an essential tool for evaluating and improving the care environment for individuals with dementia. This comprehensive checklist helps caregivers and facilities ensure they provide a supportive and safe setting, addressing key factors that influence the well-being of those with dementia.
Key Sections:
- Current Care: Assess the number of individuals with dementia under care and track incidents of challenging behaviour, agitation, and aggression.
- Safety: Monitor falls and other safety concerns.
- Staff Health: Track staff sickness to understand its impact on care quality.
- Sleep Disruptions: Evaluate the frequency of interrupted sleep among residents.
- Health Metrics: Check for signs of dehydration and assess Body Mass Index (BMI) to ensure nutritional needs are met.
How to Use:
- Step-by-Step Evaluation: Insert the correct number against each criterion to gain a clear picture of your care service’s dementia-friendliness.
- Identify Areas for Improvement: Use the results to identify and address areas that need enhancement.
- Continual Monitoring: Regular use of the checklist helps maintain a high standard of care and promptly address emerging issues.
