A common concern for people with dementia is that confusion and memory loss will mean they cannot stay safely in their own home. But with the right support and with some simple design and layout changes, many people with dementia can and do enjoy living at home for much of the rest of their lives.
Some people will choose to move home, and this can work out best for them.
