A number of simple adaptations are recommended to help orientate the person with dementia and reduce distress and challenging behaviour, e.g. reduce or preferably eliminate clutter on the walls, in corridors and rooms, and ensure there is good, natural light in the daytime and darkness at night to reinforce the rhythm of the day. Signs and furniture should be clear, bold and contrast well with the background wall, floor or door. Fuggle (2013) describes ‘wayfinding strategies’,
which involve using objects and signage repeatedly on the way to a location and back again to help guide and
reassure the person that they are going the right way.
