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.
Golden Carers is my 'Right Hand Man'... I am ever so grateful for this website. Thank you to all who contribute... hopefully I will share some things myself soon.

Looking for pictures of other demintia wings for ideas.
