Document summary

Environments that are well designed can support people with dementia to find their way around. Signage is an important part of this, but there has been little research on signage in dementia environments. Current guidelines on the principles of dementia design do not cover signage in much detail. Showing the Way sought to fill this gap in research and practical knowledge.
