AnnotationIn this first article in a series exploring different aspects of building design for people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or related dementias, the authors describe how one woman's unhappy mealtime experiences led to an appraisal of the whole dining room environment. The series will focus primarily on modifications and adaptations that can be made to existing facilities, although occasionally solutions better suited for new construction will feature. (RH).
