Demonstrating that it is essential to be sensitive to the cultural
backgrounds of people with dementia in order to provide truly
person-centred care, this book shows that it is possible to create
culturally appropriate outdoor spaces and experiences that resonate
with people with dementia on a fundamental level and are a source
of comfort and wellbeing. Contributors drawn from a variety of
backgrounds describe the significance of nature in the lives of
people with dementia from diverse cultures, faiths, traditions and
geographical locations, providing helpful insights into how access
to the natural world may be achieved within different care
settings. There are contributions from the UK (Scottish island,
urban North East England and Norfolk farming communities), Canada,
Norway, Japan, Australia, Sudan and South Africa, as well as a
chapter on the specific difficulty of providing access to nature
for people with dementia in hospitals. The voices of people with
dementia and their carers are prominent throughout, and the book
also contains evocative poetry and photographs of people with
dementia enjoying nature and the outdoors in different contexts. A
rich source of information and ideas for all those interested in
creating culturally appropriate outdoor spaces and experiences for
people with dementia, including dementia care practitioners,
especially those at managerial level, policy makers, commissioners
and those involved in designing and commissioning buildings and
services.
