Architecture for people with dementia: planning principles, practices and future challenges
Providing care for people with dementia is an increasing societal challenge. In Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities and Housing alike, dementia-friendly concepts are needed. Whether it is possible to live well with dementia is determined by many factors, among which the architectural design of the living environment plays a major role. Dementia-friendly architectural concepts support the everyday activities, independence, and quality of life not only of people with dementia, but also their care givers. The following issues need to be addressed: Which living and care arrangements support best the needs of people with dementia? How can architectural and technological concepts support family care givers, professional care providers, and volunteers? Only a holistic approach to the provision of care for people with dementia will allow the generation of economically sustainable concepts. These are especially in demand in light of the demographic changes our society encounters and will become a key issue for the future development of shrinking regions. This book is a collection of the contributions to the symposium “Architecture for People With Dementia” which took place in Dresden, Germany, in May of 2014. It provides an overview on this important topic and includes new insights form research and care practice on the architectural design of various living and care arrangements of people with dementia.
