- Aims are easier to discuss than ethos
- Aims can't enter into one's head unless tandemised by objectives
- Ethos is the moral element of the DIY DMC which determines its action
- The aims are the what of this project, and the objectives are the how
- The highest aim is to innovate within local dementia care provision
- The highest objective is to provide a new care-fusion of dementia therapy and carer therapy
- Aims and objectives are the hors d'oeuvre to the Mission Statement.
11 Aims are easier to discuss than ethos
- We will start with aims.
1.2 Aims can't enter into one's head unless tandemised by objectives
- The overall aim of the implementation study MEETINGDEM is to prepare, support and evaluate the dissemination and implementation of the successful multicomponent MCSP (Meeting Centers* Support Programme) for people with dementia and their carers in Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom. source * Translated from Dutch into USA English
- The word objective does not appear on the page.
1.3 Ethos is the moral element of the DIY DMC which determines its action
- If we look at the presumed ethos of the international project, one objective follows.
- ETHOS - The predicted increase in the number and proportion of older people with dementia over the next 40 years highlights the need to identify ways to promote timely cost-effective interventions that help people with dementia to continue to live independently in the community as long as possible.
- OBJECTIVE - In order to address this issue and solve the above mentioned problems, the MCSP (Meeting Centers* Support Programme) offers an integrated package of care and support. source * Translated from Dutch into USA English

2 Mission Statement
The DIY DMC project is committed to:
- Continuing as the only practical form of DMC within a climate of dwindling financial support for local mental healthcare
- The continuity of the too-few UK DMCs and the creation of more
- Bringing a shorter lead-time to the creation of new DMCs by delaying some of the preliminaries
- Publicising the huge difference between a daycare centre and a DMC in that carers participate in the wider aspects of the care process hitherto being a one-to-one activity
- Improving local dementia care provision by giving people with dementia and their carers real choice, whilst promoting and sustaining as much independence and control over their lives as possible
