The Dementia-Friendly Home app

Using interactive 3D game technology Unreal Engine, the app provides carers with ideas to make their home more accessible for people living with dementia.

Many of the app suggestions are small, inexpensive solutions ranging to more significant changes.
With 70 per cent of people with dementia living in the community, the app enables the home to be made more dementia-friendly. This can allow the person to stay in their own home, enjoy their regular lifestyle activities and remain engaged with their community for longer.

Using interactive 3D game technology Unreal Engine, the app provides carers with ideas to make their home more accessible for people living with dementia.

The Dementia-Friendly Home app is available for iPad/iPhones on the iTunes App Store, or for Android devices on Google Play for $2.99. That’s less than a cup of coffee.
