title: A better dementia care environment.
abstract: Sarah Waller CBE, RGN, FRSA, programme director at The King's Fund's Enhancing the Healing Environment (EHE) programme, examines the work undertaken to date, and still ongoing, to improve the care environment for people living with dementia. At a time when estates and facilities budgets are tight, she argues that, as several successful King's Fund projects completed to date show, good schemes, that can have a significant impact on the lives of dementia patients being cared for in healthcare facilities, need by no means 'break the bank'.
