Overview
Andanchi opened in 2018 and included a day care centre designed for people living with dementia.
Approximately 25 people attend per day.
Trip hazards both inside and out have been minimised by avoiding steps and contrasting floor finishes. Safety features such as fences, door locks or other barriers to movement are not obvious.
The places that attendees often want to go to, such as sitting areas, gardens, a toilet or activity spaces are not easily seen from where they spend most of their time.
Staff can not easily see the attendees from where they spend most of their time.
A moderate amount of emphasis has been placed on reducing noise levels and a lot of emphasis has been placed on reducing clutter. The doors that are not intended to be used by people living with dementia are not camouflaged. A moderate amount of emphasis has been placed on the use of colour, contrast or lighting to highlight those things that the attendees may wish to find, the toilet door for example.
The way to the outside space is not able to be seen clearly from all parts of the building, partially obscuring the way attendees walk from the inside of the building to the outside and back in again.
A moderate amount of emphasis has been placed on providing objects and activities for attendees to engage with as they move around and a slight emphasis has been placed on creating engagement destinations at the end of corridors.
The style of furniture is very familiar to the attendees as are many decorations throughout the home. Attendees may bring in their own, familiar objects.
There are many places where attendees can choose to be by themselves or with a small number of people.
