| Annotation | Good design of indoor and outdoor environments can have a direct impact on the wellbeing of people living with dementia. The environment has a key role to play in helping a person with dementia to live well and use his or her abilities. This article summarises a number of evidence-based design principles as follows: unobtrusive removal of potential risks, allowing people to see and be seen, providing a human scale, managing levels of visual and auditory stimulation, supporting movement and engagement, providing a variety of places to be alone or with others, creating a familiar place and design in response to a vision for way of life.
