First Steps in Creating Dementia-Supportive Homes

I created this free guide because I've seen how overwhelming the early decisions can feel. Which room to start with? What changes actually matter? How do you balance safety with preserving the dignity and identity of the person you're caring for? These aren't just design questions - they're deeply personal ones, and there's rarely a simple checklist that fits every family's situation.

This planning guide offers you a structured starting point: tools to assess your space, identify priorities, and make informed decisions with your family's wellbeing in mind. It reflects the same framework I use with design clients, adapted for families navigating these changes on their own.
