While there are no known, existing initiatives aimed at directly improving the accessibility of the physical and social environment for persons living with dementia, the Disabilities Act (2014) was passed to protect, promote and ensure “full and equal enjoyment by persons with disabilities, of privileges, interests, benefits and treatment, on equal basis with others and to establish the Jamaica Council for Persons with Disabilities; and for connected matters” (p. 43). The provisions of the act may be applicable and beneficial for persons with dementia, once enforced.
