Nederland telt straks een half miljoen mensen met dementie, dus maak de bewegwijzering kraakhelder en omlijst die glazen deur met oranje, zegt de ‘dementiearchitect’

Driehonderdduizend mensen in Nederland hebben dementie en in 2040 mogelijk zelfs een half miljoen. Steeds meer gemeenten streven naar ‘dementievriendelijke’ wijken en buurthuizen. Met aandacht voor de kleur van het deurkozijn en het lichtknopje op het toilet.
