| description | We studied the impact of well-designed dementia care environments for people with dementia and how such environments reduce anxiety, alleviate fear, and slow the progression of the disease. The “group home” model has been particularly successful, as it emphasizes “home-like”, family-oriented, and personalized care. A case study of the Yunlin County Elderly Long-Term Care Association showed that this model fostered a sense of belonging and serenity in residents, with high levels of satisfaction and effective design outcomes. The environments researched were found to enhance the well-being and quality of life of people with dementia in Taiwan. |
