RESUMO

We present the development of a regional dementia strategy in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. We worked with stakeholders in a regional health authority to develop a dementia strategy. We conducted interviews with persons with dementia and their care partners (n = 26) and health care administrators and policy makers (n = 33); and administered a priority-setting survey (n = 64). Both participant groups identified provider compassion, professionalism, and care in the early stages of dementia as system strengths. Both groups also highlighted a need for more integration and coordination, a need for more person-centred care, support for care partners, and more flexibility in the provision and receipt of services. The highest-ranked priorities were improving care partner support, improving access to care, and improving system-wide quality. We integrate these strengths, needs, and priorities in a strategic framework, "Whole Person, Whole Journey". Organizations developing a dementia strategy may use this framework as a springboard for their own work.

RESUMO

Social workers are well positioned to address mental health complications impacting home care populations, yet social work has one of the lowest utilization rates of offered home care supports in Ontario. This study analyzed care plan data of frontline in-home social work services. Results identified adjustment to illness as the most common category and that seniors required significantly fewer visits and days on service than non-seniors. Most patients were able to accomplish their social work-based goals. Results highlight a need for further research and for capitalizing on the untapped potential value of social work home care services for patients.

RESUMO

To inform future strategy development in Canada and other jurisdictions, we undertook an Internet search to identify existing national and Canadian provincial dementia strategies and their major themes. Twenty-two dementia strategies were identified through an Internet search, supplemented by hand searches of reference lists of retrieved documents. Thematic analysis identified 17 strategic themes; common themes included improved diagnoses and assessments, increased access to care, and improved education of the healthcare workforce. This review reinforces the importance of a multi-faceted response to dementia and illustrates that, despite variation in needs across populations and geographies, there are many common priorities. The strategic themes identified in this review may provide a useful starting point for the development of new national strategies or, alternatively, as a check to determine if important priority areas have been missed in strategy development.
