DementiaVision™ is a UK-registered, science-backed signage system designed to transform how people living with dementia experience the built environment. It aims to make environments such as care homes, hospitals, community hubs and high-streets feel calm, clear and easy to navigate.

When someone has dementia, they often experience changes in perception, memory and orientation. Clear way-finding, high-contrast design and intuitive iconography help reduce confusion, promote independence and increase dignity. For example, signage guidance supports use of contrasting colours, clear icons, and simple typography.

Each sign is created in alignment with accessibility standards such as BS 8300-2:2018 (Design of accessible and inclusive environments) and ISO 21542:2021 (Accessibility and usability of the built environment). They use high-contrast colour combinations, clear iconography, inclusive typography and design principles rooted in neuroscience. Designed specifically with people living with dementia in mind — not just standard way-finding.

Anywhere you want to improve navigation and reduce disorientation — examples include: Care homes and assisted living Hospitals and clinics Community centres, churches, libraries High street retail or public spaces aiming to be dementia-friendly Private residences or assisted living homes

Good signage depends on the layout, user population and environment. You should consider: Which rooms and corridors require clear identification (e.g., toilets, lounges, dining areas) Whether directional signage is needed (arrows, “you are here” maps) Layout and lighting of the space (contrast becomes more important in lower light) Height and placement of the signs so they are visible from the approach We recommend a consultation or walk-through of your premises so that signage is tailored to your environment.

Make sure signs are fixed at appropriate height and angle so they are visible and readable. Use non-reflective materials (glare can reduce readability). Ensure good contrast of background vs. text/icon so readability remains high. Choose durable and easy-to-clean materials, especially in care environments. Review lighting and sight-lines in your space so signage is not obscured or overshadowed.

Yes — research shows that dementia-friendly signage can lead to: Reduced anxiety and distressed behaviours because the environment feels less confusing. Increased independence and confidence as people can navigate more easily. Reduced incidents of disorientation, falls or incontinence when the layout is clearer.

We align our signage to recognised accessibility and dementia‐friendly design standards, including: BS 8300-2:2018 (Design of accessible and inclusive environments) ISO 21542:2021 (Accessibility and usability of the built environment) Dementia-friendly design guidance from the Alzheimer’s Society & the DSDC (Designing for Dementia – Care environments)
