Dementia design and dementia friendly environments
The environment can make a significant impact upon how a person with dementia can function and remain independent. This applies to their home environment, community and healthcare facilities.
There are audit tools which have been created for a range of different environments. These tools guide you through the principles of dementia enabling environments within these settings. They can be found here: Environmental assessment tools – University Of Worcester
