| Annotation | The visual sense can act as a critical tool, allowing the person with dementia to make sense of their environment and maximise their remaining abilities. As a result, good lighting design can enable a person with dementia to experience more independence, have more of a choice and thus retain more dignity. This book provides guidance on appropriate lighting design for environments used by people with dementia; it is relevant for new-builds, refurbishments and alterations to residential buildings. First published in 2008, this is one of a series published by the Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC) to assist providers, architects, commissioners and managers to improve the design of buildings which are used by people with dementia.
