Presenters: Sarah Waller CBE and Jennifer Bray, Association for Dementia Studies, University of Worcester
Description: In recent years there has been a growing interest in and awareness of the importance of dementia friendly environmental design across all health and care environments as well as for people living with dementia in their own homes. There is now a wealth of information and guidance about how to assess and create internal and external spaces that will enable people living with dementia to live well. However, these are not always evidence based and this presentation will explore the areas where more research is needed. With a focus on the care home and home environment it will also include practical advice on small scale changes that can improve care practice.
