This indicator shows the existence of facilities that typically provide care for adults during the day by the WHO as outlined in WHO 2020. The facilities are generally: (i) available to groups of users at the same time (rather than delivering services to individuals one at a time), (ii) expect users to stay at the facilities beyond the periods during which they have face-to-face contact with staff (i.e. the service is not simply based on users coming for appointments with staff and then leaving immediately after the appointment) and (iii) involve attendances that last half or one full day. The method of estimation consists in listing of facilities available in a country to provide support and inpatient/outpatient care for people with dementia provided by the national authority's response.
