Questions

  1. Identify the actual home environment of a person you are working with and consider whether environmental adjustments may support the person to have an improved quality of life now, and in the future.
  2. Consider the extent to which indoor and outdoor dementia friendly environments, assistive technologies and tele-healthcare can support people with dementia to live well in their own homes and communities.
  3. In your practice, what are the most significant challenges in using environmental and other innovations to support people to live well at home, and how can you overcome them?
  4. How do you reflect the importance of outside space in your discussion and planning with people with dementia and their families and carers?
