| Annotation | Mary Marshall introduces new resources aimed at equipping general hospitals to make the care environments brighter and better places for people with dementia. Even so, it is still important to have attention to detail in key design features such as lighting, colours or tonal contrast, noise reduction, improving orientation, making sure that people can see what they need to, optimising independence and control, and being able to see nature. June Delaney shares the story of transformation of a ward at Wester Moffat Hospital, Airdrie, which has made for a calmer atmosphere and safer environment for both patients and staff. (RH). |
