Excellence in design delivers excellence in care
Design is a powerful tool that influences the way we understand the world around us. This is especially true for people living with dementia.
More than half of all aged care residents have a dementia diagnosis, and their care only becomes more complex as the disease
progresses. Learn how to harness the power of good design to make life significantly better for the people in your care, at the Dementia Design School.
