Abstract

It is estimated that there are 800,00 people with dementia in the UK and this number is expected to double in the next 30 years. The proportion of people with cognitive problems and dementia in general hospitals continues to increase and the need to make the physical environment of health and social care buildings more dementia friendly is now widely acknowledged. This article outlines some of the key features of dementia friendly design and introduces a suite of environmental assessment tools for care settings.
