For people living with dementia, there is no “one size fits all” home environment. But with some simple accommodations, your home can be optimized to be safer and more navigable for a person living with dementia, to help maximize wellbeing, dignity and aging in place. 

Hosted by The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County, Occupational Therapist and Director of Client Experience, Dean Henderson will discuss how our homes are more than just physical spaces — they help to maximize independence, autonomy and wellbeing. And they’re often the spaces where we feel most safe. However, as dementia progresses, individuals can experience impairments that affect their ability to do day-to-day activities, and their safety. By understanding changes in the brain that people living with dementia may experience, we can make simple design modifications to our homes to promote continued independence, wellbeing, and dignity. 

Participants of this webinar will learn: 

• How our homes can support a person’s abilities to perform activities of daily living 
• Design principles for supporting dementia 
• About brain impairments that can be associated with dementia and associated home design modifications
