Bellfield Age Supportive Benches
The Bellfield Centre, based on the site of the former Stirling Community Hospital, has been the centre of a collaborative arts project. The purpose-built centre provides intermediate health and social care for older people to learn (or re-learn) the skills they need to be independent.
Part of the arts project saw the redesign and reappropriation of eight park benches from a previous care home. Working with residents, community groups, occupational therapists and dementia specialists, the benches were refurbished and augmented with designed interventions making them more accessible and dementia friendly.
Your dementia design toolkit: Light reflectance values (LRVs)
Age related changes and impairments can often make it more difficult for people to understand and navigate a building. However, using a toolkit of non-pharmacological design interventions, you can support our ageing population, and people living with a diagnosis of a dementia, to be more independent. One of those tools is Light Reflectance Value (LRV).
