AnnotationThis article discusses different approaches to assessing and changing the built environment in care homes for people with dementia. It compares: using routinely collected data about incidents and behaviours that might reflect the physical environment; using existing environmental assessment tools; interviews with staff, residents and visitors about the quality of the environment as a place to live, work or visit; and observational methods of assessment.
