| Annotation | No one design for a dementia care environment will suit everyone, so it is useful to see a rich variety of examples across the world from which to learn, and three such are looked at in this article. Czaar Peterpunt in Amsterdam was converted from a residential block into a care home for people with advanced dementia in 2006. Hearthstone in Marlborough, Massachusetts structures the day to encourage residents away from their bedrooms to activities in the communal space. The Russets near Bristol is a residential unit built around a courtyard, where organised activities take place. (RH). |
