Kenilworth residents can have their say on the county's Living Well with Dementia Strategy to help the 11,000 Warwickshire residents currently living with dementia.

'Everyone affected by dementia is enabled to live well' is the vision for the 2022 - 2027 strategy.

Warwickshire County Council wants feedback on new plans to make sure support is available to patients and those around them.

Cllr Margaret Bell, portfolio holder for adult social care and health said: "Our priority as Warwickshire County Council is to help people live as independently and as well as possible.

"Support is available throughout the county to help people with dementia as well as their carers.

"As part of this strategy, we want to hear from a wide range of people about what they feel is important about access to services and support, what is working well and what could be improved."
