Hi all, I know a very specific issue here, but I'm pulling my hair out trying to plan fire safety strategies in an Extra Care Housing scheme for residents with Dementia. Extra Care Housing is different from Residential Care in that each flat is considered a self contained private dwelling; however many Fire Services are treating them as residential care in terms of evacuation (despite often only being commissioned a single staff member overnight). One particular service is specifically for dementia sufferers; which means that they cannot understand the need to stay in a place of relative safety and will wander into danger. In similar services, for example for people with learning disabilities, the number of staff allocated reflects this. The good news is that in terms of fire resistant construction, L1 alarms etc they are usually very well set up. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as I know it's a problem faced by many care providers. Thanks,
