Living at home with dementia JSNA (2025)

Cheshire West and Chester Council’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) for Living at Home with Dementia has been developed in partnership with colleagues from Cheshire West Integrated Care Board (ICB). Colleagues from the VCFSE sector have also provided support to help refine the document.

This JSNA aims to assess the dementia-related needs of the population in Cheshire West and Chester. The focus is specifically people aged 65 and over, living at home with dementia, and their families and carers. The JSNA seeks to better understand and respond to the evolving needs of those living with dementia, particularly in relation to their care preferences and outcomes. Its purpose is to review available data, review support available to identify any gaps in provision, and provide recommendations for improving the lives of people living with dementia as well as their families and caregivers.

This JSNA will help to inform strategic planning, resource allocation, and the development of services that support individuals living with dementia at home, their families, and caregivers.
