Designing for Dementia

Description

By 2021 it is estimated that over one million people will be living with dementia in the UK, an increasing figure. This interactive CPD examines common symptoms and how the built environment can exacerbate these or help those with dementia to live well. The session will include industry best practice guidance, including information and input from the Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC). By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:

-What dementia is, common symptoms and its impact on the senses

-The effects of visual impairment

-The use and measurement of light reflectance values (LRV)

- Rules, regulations and best practice

- Design principles
