Product Description

Product Description

Maintaining a connection to nature is increasingly recognised as an important component of caring for a person with dementia. The benefits of connecting the subjective experience of dementia sufferers with their physical environment include sensory stimulation and enhanced cognitive, psychological and physical well-being, as well as improved behaviour management. "Design for Nature in Dementia Care" adopts a holistic and person-centred approach to caring for dementia sufferers by considering their emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being. The book provides comprehensive examples of the wide range of ways a person can connect to nature through indoor and outdoor activities, elements and environments, such as caring for house plants and pets, gardening and cooking, practising handicrafts and domestic chores, and offers solutions and insights to a professional understanding of the design of buildings and landscapes. The book draws on interdisciplinary research evidence from environmental psychology, neurology, architecture, nursing and dementia care practice, and spells out practical ways in which care providers and design professionals can design for nature in dementia care.

Format:Paperback
This is an immensely practical book written in clear unambiguous English with minimal technical language. It covers everything from goldfish to gardens, from the placement of bird feeders to a discussion of fresh as opposed to artificial flowers. Each section includes a subsection on implementation under the headings: Person with Dementia; Social Environment; and Practical Environment. It's a book to dip into whenever you are redesigning or renovating a garden or outdoor space, or planning an outing or just short of an idea. A high proportion of the ideas in this book can be implemented immediately with little or no cost. Highly recommended
