Architectural Cues
The principle of wayfinding uses lighting, signs and sight lines on walls and floors to help people find their way around a large building. Having such landmarks allows patients suffering from the beginnings of dementia to navigate better in large spaces.
Wayfinding: Not Just Inside!
Wayfinding is not limited to the inside of buildings. Landscape can be used to create obvious paths toward building entrances. Awnings and even large sculptures can also serve as obvious markers to building entrances.
Setbacks
The point of wayfinding as it relates to elderly care is to provide an environment in which people won't become disoriented. Ineffective techniques are expensive and frustrating to patients if they need to rely on finding and asking staff for help in getting around.
