‘CareTech’ Grant to Boost Dementia Support in Jersey

A new funding initiative is set to enhance support for people living with dementia in Jersey. The CareTech grant will provide vital resources to help local care services adopt innovative technology and improve the quality of care.

The grant aims to empower care providers with tools that can assist with memory support, safety monitoring, and day-to-day management, ensuring that individuals living with dementia can maintain independence for longer.

Local organisations will benefit from the funding by accessing cutting-edge solutions designed to complement traditional care methods. Officials hope the initiative will not only improve the wellbeing of those affected but also support families and carers by easing some of the challenges of daily care.

“This funding represents an important step in bringing modern, practical technology into dementia care here in Jersey,” said a spokesperson. “We are excited about the positive difference it will make to people’s lives and the support it will provide to families.”

The CareTech grant is part of a wider effort to modernise care services on the island and ensure that individuals living with dementia receive compassionate, effective support tailored to their needs.
