Appropriate use of lighting can significantly help people with dementia understand their environment. By contrast, badly planned lighting can accentuate sensory impairments that are often associated with dementia. This book will help those involved in supporting people with dementia understand the importance of lighting and explain how they can make straightforward improvements. It contains many practical suggestions that involve minimal cost, but have the potential to create a homely environment that meets the needs of people with dementia. Those with a technical background, such as planners, facilities managers and architects, will find more detailed information on lighting design. This can be used when planning a new building or refurbishing an existing one.
