Booklet: Design a better day – dementia-friendly adult day-care center design
Abstract:
Developing aging- and dementia friendly design makes a difference to society. A supportive and welcoming environment can have positive effects
on those who use care service and their caregivers – whether at home or in professional care facilities. There is, however, still relatively little known about the design of adult day-care facilities.
This booklet introduces the research project that emphasizes the relationship between activities of people with dementia and the architectural properties in adult day-care facilities. The result of the study offers evidence of dementia-friendly day-care facility design. This booklet presents the project with several selected findings that can be applied in practice by architects.
