Brief About The Project:
My project addresses the aging population who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, throughout all the stages, by meeting their social, physical, psychological and medical needs in order to improve their quality of life, manage their disease better and preserve their sense of self.
There are four major behavioral areas that can be targeted throughout the design, which are wandering, familiarity, safety and disorientation. Therefore, my project emphasizes creating an environment that heightens the awareness and orientation of the residents, in order to assist them in knowing where they are and providing them with clear paths to their destinations.
