The Dementia Quality Mark (DQM) aims to reassure people choosing services that the care being given meets the needs of people with dementia. For example, a DQM would be particularly helpful for families wanting to select a care home. The DQM also sets standards, which those providing services can aspire to.

In the South West we have adopted a collaborative approach to develop a common DQM, improving efficiency and reducing duplication across local authorities. You can download the DQM along with a range of supporting tools below.
