An environmental scan of policies and interventions to improve access to dementia care for English-speaking minority communities in Québec

English-speaking people living with dementia in Québec often face barriers to care, including delays in diagnosis and difficulty accessing timely support and services. These challenges can negatively affect both individuals living with dementia and their caregivers, while also reflecting broader inequities experienced by linguistic minority communities.

This project will examine the policies, programs, and services that support language- and culture-friendly dementia care in Québec. Researchers will review public documents and websites and interview healthcare providers, administrators, and decision-makers to better understand current practices and gaps in care.

The findings will be organized into a living online resource that brings together existing policies, tools, programs, and evidence about their effectiveness. The project aims to improve access to timely, culturally safe, and language-concordant dementia care for English-speaking communities in Québec and help guide future healthcare improvements.
