It is estimated that 90,000 people are living with dementia in Scotland.
A new practice framework aimed at improving the way that housing organisations support people who have dementia was launched at a recent event in Edinburgh.
Housing and dementia: a practice framework for Scotland's housing sector was commissioned by Healthcare Improvement Scotland's ihub in partnership with CIH Scotland and Alzheimer Scotland.
