Our official Charity this year for DHS and Care Shop is The Care Workers CharityFinding specific rooms can be a source of great anxiety and stress for someone with dementia, especially if they end up going into the wrong one. Their symptoms mean it is often difficult to encounter, understand, and negotiate everyday environments, such as corridors in a care home where many of the rooms are difficult for them to distinguish.
...Finding specific rooms can be a source of great anxiety and stress for someone with dementia, especially if they end up going into the wrong one. Their symptoms mean it is often difficult to encounter, understand, and negotiate everyday environments, such as corridors in a care home where many of the rooms are difficult for them to distinguish.
This is where dementia door enhancements are extremely effective. The signage can give places a meaningful and distinctive symbol, colour, picture or reassuring landmark to help those living with dementia navigate their environment. When used in conjunction with other dementia signs it can help people living with dementia better understand their care home.
At Care Shop we stock a variety of dementia door enhancements from leading brand Find Signage, including 'door-cals', door numbers and orientation boards.
