Foster a granny
Foster a granny scheme launched
A ground-breaking scheme has been launched in Kent to offer dementia sufferers the chance to live with foster families rather than go into care homes. It is hoped the "foster a granny" initiative could change the way elderly are cared for in the future. Jane Barnes, head of adults, older people and physical disability at Kent County Council, said: "The new initiative will give people with dementia the opportunity to be looked after in a homely atmosphere and to develop real and lasting new relationships as a positive alternative to residential care." The council is now on the lookout for families willing to use their spare rooms to take in older people.
