“…The need for building DFCs is recognised by 90 % of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, including the Netherlands. The need and ambition to build Dutch DFC is captured in a national strategy called Deltaplan Dementie [ 7 , 8 ].…”

“…In the Netherlands, decentralisation of health and care policies and services makes municipalities responsible for providing appropriate dementia care and support, as stated by the Social Support Act 2015 [ 14 – 16 ] Therefore, building DFC is a responsibility of municipalities [ 7 , 8 ]. This has automatically led to an increase of local DFIs [ 7 , 16 ]. Local DFIs may vary significantly in format, structure, content and outcomes, based on local resources and needs, the partners engaged and population groups targeted [ 7 , 12 , 17 , 18 ].…”

That means that one municipality decides to initiate a Meeting Centre as a DFI while another municipality focuses on integrating dementia in existing activities such as a choir or community garden.…”

Background Dementia friendly communities (DFCs) are seen as key to participation of people with dementia and carers. Dementia-friendly initiatives (DFI) are important building blocks for the growth of DFCs. Therefore, it is essential to understand how DFIs are developed and sustained to secure the growth of DFCs. This study identifies contextual factors and mechanisms that influence the development and sustainment of Dutch DFIs. It also explains how these contextual factors and mechanisms are interrelated and the outcomes to which they lead. Methods Mixed methods, namely interviews, observations, documentation and focus groups, were used for this realist multiple case study. Participants were professionals (n = 46), volunteers (n = 20), people with dementia (n = 1) and carers (n = 2) who were involved in development and sustainment of DFIs in four Dutch DFCs. Results This study revealed three middle-range program theories as final outcomes: development of a support base, collaboration, and participation in DFIs by people with dementia and carers. These theories address institutional, organisational, interpersonal and individual levels in the community that are essential in development and sustainment of DFIs. Conclusions The development and sustainment of DFIs requires the development of a support base, collaboration, and participation in DFIs by people with dementia and their carers.

Introduction. Dementia-friendly communities coordinate activities and events which offer social inclusion and participation of people with dementia. Initiatives can include memory cafés, sports, and tourist and heritage visits. This study explored how dementia-friendly initiatives are developed and sustained in England, drawing comparisons with an equivalent case study in the Netherlands. Methods. We present a case study of dementia-friendly initiatives, in one city in England. Selection of this case study was done on the basis of being a leading dementia-friendly community. We interviewed a variety of stakeholders, including people with dementia and their care partners, volunteers, and staff. Semistructured interviews were recorded, and transcripts were analysed using qualitative analysis software using a realist evaluation interpretation. Realist theories described within this English case study were compared with those described within the Dutch case studies. Findings. Five context mechanism outcome configurations were described. The Dementia Action Alliance for the city was a coordinator of initiatives and provided funding and resources. The alliance facilitated advocates to partner with organisations with a shared commitment to plan activities. On the level of individual interactions, staff or volunteers were involved in communicating with local community members, which may lead to improvement in awareness. Initiatives had various ways to listen and incorporate the views of people with dementia. The five mechanisms identified within the English case study resonated with the mechanisms identified within the larger Dutch case study, with differences in contexts due to local policies and practices. Conclusion. Strategic coordination is an important factor for development and sustainability. The national policy in England has set the pattern for local structures, while the Dutch approach is “bottom-up” with local leadership. Community advocates and public support were important factors in the development of dementia-friendly initiatives in both countries.
