Situation
It is vital that our Meeting Centre environment is dementia friendly for our members and family carers to give them the best experience possible. We also welcome visitors from all over the UK and abroad who want to set up a Meeting Centre like ours so it has to be right and be an exemplar of good practice. We are located in what was, some time ago, the local Registry Office and whilst we have made some improvements there is still quite a way to go.
Solution
We would like to change the flooring so that it is uniform throughout in terms of style and colour; that it is of a particular quality to enable ease movement of furniture and walking frames; safe for movement and co-ordination activities and easy to clean. We would like to install new, and upgrade existing, dementia friendly signage both outside and inside the building. We would like to convert a small office into a flexible, interactive memory room for small group and person-centred support.
