Neuroarchitecture and Dementia: Residential Design Strategies for Quality of Life and Emotional Well-Being

Subscriber Access

Neuroarchitecture can be highly valuable in helping people with dementia maintain their autonomy. Creating stimulating, supportive, and safe environments helps them remain engaged and independent for longer. Designing a practical, supportive home that promotes cognitive function, emotional well-being, and social interaction is essential.

Given the rapid growth of the global elderly population, studies show that more than one-third of older adults live in their own homes despite declining cognitive and physical abilities. However, not all can be considered fully autonomous, as they often require assistance to perform some of their daily activities.
