Building dementia and age-friendly neighbourhoods

Author: Alzheimer's Association Australia,
Year: 2011
Type: Report

Abstract:

The needs of people with dementia and other types of cognitive impairment have helped shape the design of residential facilities, but the issue of accessibility to public places and spaces for people with dementia and their carers has been almost completely neglected. In a series of focus group consultations we asked members of the eight Alzheimer’s Australia NSW regional consumer committees to describe how they experienced their surrounding neighbourhoods once they stepped outside the safety and familiarity of their front gate and made their way to the local shopping centre, park, doctor’s surgery or club.
