| Annotation | To follow on from her book "Celebrating the person: a practical approach to art activities" and the associated pack, the author explores ways in which we can enhance the places where people with dementia live, not just aesthetically, but in terms of reflecting the person, and his or her life and interests. Too many hospital wards and rooms in residential and nursing homes are impersonal. This book shows how with a little effort and imagination, on a minimal budget, spaces can be made meaningful and pleasurable, by enhancing sight, smell, touch, and hearing sensory environments.
