SAFER-Dem: generating co-designed adaptations to a discharge care planning bundle for people living with dementia
The SAFER-Dem care bundle was well received by stakeholders, showing promise for improving discharge quality for people living with dementia. Participants identified areas for improvement to enhance accessibility and effectiveness. Findings suggest that with further evaluation, SAFER-Dem could become a valuable tool in supporting dementia-inclusive discharge practices. Research and co-design with people living with dementia have been instrumental in understanding experiences during discharge.
