Abstract
How can domestic housing be adapted to support people living with dementia staying in their own homes for as long as they choose? This paper describes the innovative practice of using evidence-based design personas in a building refurbishment project (Chris and Sally’s House) with a multidisciplinary team of architects, ergonomists, psychologists and experts. A 100 sqm Victorian two bedroom house was adapted to help educate house builders, carers and relatives on how to better support those living with dementia to live in their own home for longer. The design principles include clear sight lines, mobility support and provision for overnight carers.
如何调整家庭住房,以支持痴呆症患者选择住多久就住多久?本文描述了在建筑翻新项目(Chris and Sally’s House)中使用基于证据的设计人物角色的创新实践,该项目由建筑师、人体工程学专家、心理学家和专家组成。一个100平方米的维多利亚式两卧室的房子被改造,以帮助教育房屋建筑商,护理人员和亲属如何更好地支持痴呆症患者在自己的家中生活更长时间。设计原则包括清晰的视线,移动支持和提供过夜护理人员。
期刊介绍:
Dementia acts as a major forum for social research of direct relevance to improving the quality of life and quality of care for people with dementia and their families. For the first time an international research journal is available for academics and practitioners that has as its primary paradigm the lived experience of dementia.
