Living well with dementia

One in three of us who live to 65 will have some form of dementia before we die. A million people in the UK will be living with the condition by 2021. But there’s a difference between simply living and living well.

The Design Council in partnership with the Department of Health has funded and supported the development of five innovative new design solutions to improve the quality of life for people living with dementia.
