Supporting someone living with dementia in their own home can involve complex situations and difficult decisions. Staff may be working alone, under time pressure, when a person refuses care or medication, becomes distressed or suspicious, or wants to leave their home. 6D Dementia - Domiciliary Care

6D Dementia® gives domiciliary care teams a shared, practical approach to understanding dementia and responding to distress and changes in behaviour. Staff learn to consider what is happening, why it may be happening and what to do next. 6D Dementia - Domiciliary Care

Our CPD-accredited training goes beyond dementia awareness. It helps staff understand how dementia affects each person, recognise what may be contributing to distress or changes in behaviour, and identify practical ways to respond with confidence, consistency and compassion.

Designed specifically for domiciliary care, 6D combines flexible digital learning with real home-care scenarios and practical guidance. Short modules can be completed around busy schedules and accessed on mobile, helping staff develop skills they can use during real home visits. 6D Dementia - Domiciliary Care

For providers, 6D supports a more consistent approach across staff, visits and services. Managers can monitor training progress and records, supporting workforce development, training compliance and inspection readiness. 6D Dementia - Domiciliary Care

Developed by Consultant Clinical Psychologist Dr Frances Duffy, drawing on more than 30 years of NHS experience and over 15 years leading dementia services, 6D brings together evidence, psychological approaches and practical strategies that staff can apply in their day-to-day work.
