This video demonstrates ways administrators and designers can better fulfil personal needs by incorporating environmental adaptations to create more homelike settings that contribute to the residents’ comfort and quality of life. Strategies include simple concepts that recognize residents’ former roles, support their self image, create more familiar "home settings and give them a greater sense of control and privacy. Authors: Margaret Calkins, Eileen Lipstreuer

What we like best about this product: Design for dementia is a unique and elusive expertise. Calkins and Lipstreuer are excellent and make very intuitive and insightful suggestions to help make life more familiar and homelike, despite living in a facility, eliminating many of the upsets, dangers and discomforts one would otherwise expect.
