HammondCare Daw Park is one of two locations that are hosting a Dementia Design School by The Dementia Centre and HammondCare.
In short, this interactive two-day course showcases essential knowledge and tools to assess how supportive a space is for people living with dementia. Therefore, the school is a unique opportunity to experience the cottage-style model of care. Chiefly, this was first introduced by HammondCare over two decades ago in 1996.
Design has a powerful impact on how we perceive the world around us. For people living with dementia, good design can improve quality of life by making the world easier to navigate.
It can help to overcome some common challenges like changes in perception and loss of motor ability and cognitive function.
This dementia design school is one of two coming up. The first is in June at Hammondville, the home of Australia’s first dementia cottage. After that, the second is in August at HammondCare Daw Park, the brand-new purpose-built dementia village at in Adelaide. Bickerton Masters are proud to have overseen the architecture, interior design and project management for.
