In this pioneering book in the newly emerging field of architectural design and dementia, Uriel Cohen and Gerald Weisman set forth a program of practical design principles linked to specific therapeutic goals. People with dementia live in environments ranging from their own homes to community-based group homes and long-term care facilities. 'Holding On to Home' addresses key issues for the planning and modification of all these settings. The book is equally useful to caregivers, nursing home and adult day care planners and administrators, architects, and interior designers, as well as to students and practitioners of geriatrics and gerontology.
