For individuals with dementia, cognitive and sensory impairments can make navigation, orientation, and communication difficult. Due to the loss of short-term memory, complex actions cannot be understood, and there is a lack of allocation of space and time. As dementia progresses, long-term memory generally continues to function for a very long time, which should be taken into account in the design.
