Deaf Dementia Toolkit

Last updated: 05/08/2025

The Dementia Journey is different for everyone. Some start with a diagnosis. Some need to organise care. Some want to find out more information. Some need to make choices and decisions.

We hope this toolkit will give tips and advice to support people as they travel on their Deaf Dementia Journey.

Deaf people with dementia, their carers and families are often excluded from mainstream services, care home activities and medical or professional discussions. This toolkit may be a useful resource for all involved in supporting Deaf people living with dementia, to help them remember the needs of the Deaf person who uses British Sign Language (BSL), whether they are the patient, the family member or the carer.
