The overarching goal of YODAT is to enable people with younger onset dementia to live in their homes and communities for as long as possible before some form of residential care may become necessary; and if that time does come, that age appropriate and home-like facilities are available to encourage strategies based on individual strengths and interests to enhance quality of life. YODAT is seeking to address the gaps in the care and treatment of people living with younger onset dementia by providing age appropriate facilities and services addressing physical, emotional and spiritual needs, advocacy for people with this condition, and support for their families, carers and communities.
