Care environment and quality of life

The environment where care is delivered for a person living with dementia can greatly impact their quality of life. CDPC researchers have examined community, acute, residential care environments and have brought together evidence-based information, resources, and recommendations about optimal care environments to inform people with dementia, their families and care providers.

These pages have the CHOPs resources and links to the dedicated website on best practice on screening, assessment and care for people with dementia in the hospital environment and what constitutes a quality aged care residential environment and how this can be measured.
