Description
Karin Wolf-Ostermann, Hilde Verbeek, and Marie Boltz organized this symposium report on dementia-friendly communities, published in two thousand twenty-three. Dementia is a major challenge of aging societies. Most people with dementia want to stay in their own homes as long as they can. Yet dementia is also a top reason people move into nursing homes. New care ideas around the world try to close that gap.
The symposium brought four talks and a closing discussion. Topics include fresh care settings, ways to measure how dementia-friendly a built space is, and non-drug supports for person-centred care. The report shares lessons across countries. It aims to help communities shape homes and neighborhoods where people with dementia can live well. Planners, care staff, and families may all find guidance here.
