John’s Campaign has a single, simple message: no one should enforce disconnection between family carers and those who need their expert knowledge and their love. This principle is applicable everywhere: in the doctor’s surgery, the A&E ward, the dementia assessment unit and the care home.
Families are never “visitors” to a person with dementia; they are an integral part of that person’s life and identity and often their last, best means of connection with the world.
