Warner (2000) suggests that Alzheimer’s is not a disease of the home but of the mind, and consequently architecture is not a cure. Nevertheless, if environment modifications are used in conjunction with the care provided, it may lessen problems for the person with dementia and their carers. There is a need for further research with larger samples to provide evidence-based insight into the impact of environment modification in dementia. This will increase understanding of the difference these changes make alone, and in conjunction with adapting attitudes and approaches to dementia care.
