AnnotationOutdoor environments can play a powerful therapeutic role in supporting people with dementia - but only if design and care practice issues are tackled together. The author draws on a research and design project he conducted in a care home. The article focuses on garden design and going for walks, which are examined in terms of risk and reward, as described in quotes to interviews conducted by Jonathan Wyatt, a masters student in environmental sciences at York University.
