Barriers to access and use of day centre services by people with dementia, memory loss and cognitive deficits
This project examined the services and programs provided by day centres and aims to determine the issues that influence client attendance at day centres. In addition, we investigated staff perceptions of issues that impact on the operation of day centres. Publications from this project are in draft.
