Briefing
The In-Touch project, funded with €7.5 million from the EU, aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals with advanced dementia. Led by the University College of Cork (UCC), a research group of 13 institutions across the EU, UK, and Canada, will investigate a comprehensive, non-pharmacological intervention for dementia.
This study will be trialled in 56 care homes across seven countries, focusing on palliative care, staff training, and improving well-being, through tailored, multi-sensory activities for residents and their families.
Transforming Dementia Care
The In-Touch project represents a significant step forward in the care of individuals with advanced dementia in Europe. By developing innovative, non-pharmacological interventions that prioritise comfort, quality of life, and social engagement, the project aims to transform the care experience for residents and their families. Through its comprehensive training program, the project also empowers care staff to deliver more personalised and compassionate support, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout the nursing homes sector.
