Environmental Toolkit (EADDAT)
For anyone looking at more information on how the environment can impact a person living with dementia then DSDC’s Environments for Ageing and Dementia Design Assessment Tool (EADDAT) is an ideal place to start. This toolkit explains more about how the places we work, live and socialise in can impact a person living with dementia. There are checklists that you can work through to make small changes that can have a positive impact on a person’s experience within a space.
