Community based services are mainly provided by public services.

Both.

Yes, by both.

Services provided via the public sector have been covered above. We were unable to find relevant information for the private sector.

Please refer to Part 2, item 02.01.

Community-based services for people with dementia are provided by the private sector through residential homes but admission is limited to those who can afford it (National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC), 2016).

These services are provided by the private sector.

As outlined in part 3, while most services are publicly funded, provision of services is by both the public and private sector.

The public sector provides services for older persons in general (not dementia-specific) through 8 registered facilities in the country, eligible to the frail and destitute, as well as an Older Persons Programme (housed by the Department of Social Development) that proposes services based on an ‘active aging’ framework (i.e., promoting the participation of older persons in their communities and decision-making for as long as possible). Based on this review, the extent to which these proposed services are implemented is unclear. Dementia-specific services, however, largely rely on the private sector as well as NGOs and FBO’s.
