We delve into creating dementia-friendly homes through thoughtful design and practical modifications that transform daily life for those with dementia. By reimagining living spaces with strategic tweaks rather than expensive remodels, we can create sanctuaries that boost safety, confidence, independence, and happiness.
• Universal principles include brighter lighting, contrasting colors, simplified navigation, and enhanced safety features
• Strategic tweaks like labels, pictures, and see-through cabinets help maintain independence
• Room-by-room modifications for entrances, living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways
• Technology solutions that serve rather than complicate
• Creating an emotional environment that celebrates achievements and maintains familiar routines
• Professional resources like occupational therapists can provide customized solutions
• Quick-fire checklist of immediate improvements anyone can implement today
