About Event
The recent National Aged Care Design Principles and Guidelines redefine and establish the desired outcomes for people in aged care with four key principles of Enable the Person, Cultivate a Home, Access the Outdoors and Connect with Community.
Outside of aged care, what are the design principles that we should be considering to enable people living with dementia?
How can we design or improve accessibility, wayfinding and general everyday spaces to better support people in maintaining everyday activity?
DesignSmart provides a framework to assess both proposed and existing spaces to determine whether they enable or disable people, offering a useful reference tool and clear guide to improved spaces to support people living with Dementia. Simon will provide an overview of key design considerations and how you might assess a space to determine key opportunities to make it more enabling.
