Creating dementia-friendly and inclusive communities for social inclusion: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The number of people with dementia is increasing worldwide, with the majority of people with dementia living at home in the community. WHO calls for global action on the public health response to dementia. Social exclusion is commonly reported by people with dementia and their families. Dementia-friendly and inclusive community has emerged as an idea that holds potential to contribute to the mitigation of social exclusion. The objective of the scoping review is to answer two questions: What social inclusion strategies that have been reported in the dementia-friendly and inclusive communities' literature? What strategies for developing dementia-friendly and inclusive communities that have shown to improve social inclusion?
