| Annotation | Activities should be a vital component of good care, but are often neglected. The author of this article is a director of Architectronics, which specialises in evidence-based design for well-being. He describes two initiatives which aim to support people living with a wide range of dementias: the Dotsa Bitove Wellness Academy in Toronto, and the Activiteiten Centrum (Activity Centre) in Soest in the Netherlands, both daytime activity centres. There are aspects of their design which could and should be incorporated into residential care building design in the UK. (RH). |
