By incorporating dementia-friendly design principles into your homes and other spaces, you can create living environments where people with dementia can live safely and with less stress. Fukuoka City has developed a Dementia-Friendly Design Guide, outlining 30 key points to help create more comfortable spaces for everyone, including those living with dementia.
This course will provide a clear and accessible explanation of the guide’s core design principles, along with practical tips and sample timelines for implementing these concepts in buildings.
The Dementia-Friendly Design Guide created by Fukuoka City is available for download from the city’s official website.

In this session, participants will have the opportunity to experience the Dementia AR Experience called “Dementia Eyes”.
The dementia AR experience is an augmented reality (AR) and enable you to experience elements of common visual symptoms of dementia, mainly Alzheimer’s type. Through the experience, you will be able to understand the difficulties and anxiety felt by people with dementia, which will help you reflect on your past and future responses, and at the same time, you will be able to gain the insight on how to improve the environment such as potential hazard and easy-to-understand color combinations.

Appropriate support for people with dementia is important for them to live with peace of mind. We offer individual consultations on Humanitude®, a communication technique that conveys kindness to people with dementia, which is necessary in this process.

One of the keys to creating a living environment where people with dementia can live as independently and confidently as possible and live your life in a way that you want is to incorporate dementia-friendly design.
The Center provides individualized advice on the key points needed to introduce dementia-friendly design in your home, such as signage, color combinations, lighting, and furniture placement. Please take advantage of this service so that you can live at home with peace of mind.
