We are in the process of painting our Demintia Unit. Is there any special paint colours to use? At the moment the unit is painted pastel colours and looks very dull. We are loooking at painting murals as well. Any ideas would be great. Cheers
Lavender is a recommended color for Alzheimer's/dementia because its said to be calming. A seafoam green also is recommended. Stay away from Reds, Oranges, bright and very dark. These colors are said to cause agitation. I will attempt to find and post a link I used when redecorating our bath houses, that we converted to a Spa for our ladies and a nautical theme for our men.
I really appreciate this website and this is my second year using it. I am a Activity Director in mental health. We have residents from all ages at our facility so all the resources made available here can be utilized in so many ways. I am so thankful for this site and will continue using the resources for my residents
Looking for pictures of other demintia wings for ideas.
