In partnership with Wokingham Borough Council Adult Social Care (ASC), the research will co-produce a Climate Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Toolkit for Dementia Care. The Toolkit will enable ASC teams and carers to systematically identify, prioritise, and integrate built environment and service adaptations into routine care planning. PI is Dr. Amna Shibeika and co-I is Professor Irem Dikmen.
