This study used Nominal Group Technique workshops with 21 participants, including people with dementia, carers, researchers, and clinicians, to generate ideas for designing an open, community-integrated dementia care village.
This qualitative study used three Nominal Group Technique (NGT) workshops to explore stakeholder perspectives on designing a community-integrated residential care model for people with dementia. The 21 participants included people living with dementia, carers, academics, researchers, and clinicians. Participants agreed that safety could be maintained through community engagement, staff training, and protocols, though concerns about balancing safety with resident freedom were noted. The study concludes these principles can guide a new model of care but acknowledges the significant work and investment required to overcome potential community opposition and implement an empowering culture within typically risk-averse organizations.
