Everyone deserves the best of care.

The Dementia Centre has been improving the quality of life for people with dementia for more than 20 years.

We do this by providing research, consultancy and education informed by expertise in dementia, to people at all levels, from CEOs to family carers. We are constantly learning, reviewing the evidence base and seeking the views of people with dementia – a unique combination of research and real-life practicality. Our teams come from every discipline, our collaborations from around the globe and our results change people’s lives.

Design

Good dementia design makes a difference because people with a diagnosis of dementia are more profoundly impacted by their environment than those without. Their environment needs to tell them where they are, what they can do, and if they are okay.
