I feel that optimal design in built environments is critical to the quality-of-life of patients with dementia. I think a lot can be done to tie up art and design principles, to maximizing the orientation of patients, which has been shown to be a determinant of quality-of-life of patients with dementia.

I have written on this recently, and I would be most grateful for any feedback:

I find that architects, designers and artists are adamant in not letting their creativity become stifled by people like me who are neuroscientists in dementia!

Excellent all round; from saving money to adding to the independence and comfort of dementia sufferers. well done to all involved.

Great post, some pertinent questions to those of us who understand the positive effect the strategy is capable of for facilitating person centred care. Dementia -centric design strategy has a long way to go to provide dignity and to enable environments to those in the ageing care and recognition of mutual independance to promote autonomy and well-being.

Once moment to moment experience of contentment and value is realised and the knowledgeable experts put their heads together; the goverment can only then begin to interpret and apply appropriate ethical values to a care pathway for people with dementia.

This enhancement of facilities for those caring for our ageing population and support for carers who choose to provide cogniative design and recognition to those involved. The sooner we can make an impact on personalising the care environment the better.

Terry Pratchett would certainly have an interest in this topic I’m sure, Terry’s as aware of emphasising the importance of good communication and supportive relationships as we are.

Look forward to catching up with you soon!

Thanks Jane Verity-Smart
