Dementia friendly tools
To help as many health and care organisations as possible to develop more supportive design for people with dementia, in 2014 The King’s Fund developed a suite of environmental assessment tools for use across health and care settings a part of their Enhancing the Healing Environment (EHE) programme. With the kind permission of The King’s Fund, the tools were refreshed in 2020 with a tool for gardens added in 2021 by the Association for Dementia Studies, University of Worcester.
Accessing the environmental assessment tools
The suite of environmental assessment tools can be downloaded for free and available as PDFs or as an App. To download PDF versions of the tools, please use the links below.
