ABSTRACT

This chapter describes two further innovative research projects by early career researchers (see also Chapter 10, this volume) that add novel perspectives, innovative research methods, and personal reflections on their lessons learnt to the current discourse of dementia and design.

The first contribution, authored by Anne Fahsold and Bernhard Holle, describes lessons learned when working with an established environmental assessment tool designed to evaluate how dementia sensitive a built environment is.

The second contribution, by Rachel Daly, focuses on identifying critical enabling factors for shared everyday decision making in care homes.
