Dementia and contrast

There are changes that you can make in the environment at home that will help the person with dementia. It is more difficult if the person has visual impairment and dementia, but there are still simple design changes that you can make. Many people with dementia are older, and older people often have “yellowing” in the structures of their eyes which makes it harder to see. Increasing the light level is important, but you can do a lot with colour contract.
