“…Access to areas, for example a toilet in each level, was perceived as very helpful to minimise night wandering (and thus reduce risk of falls and incontinence accidents). Previous research has also indicated that windows and adequate lighting are important for people with dementia to enhance safety and wellbeing (Torrington & Tregenza, 2007;Wong et al, 2014), to provide time and season orientation (van Hoof & Kort, 2009) and contributing to the feeling of them less isolated or trapped (De Witt, Ploeg, & Black, 2009;Gibson, Chalfont, Clarke, Torrington, & Sixsmith, 2007), but our findings highlighted the presence of big windows, pleasing views and brightness as important aspects also for carers. This of course depends on the surroundings outside, which in densely populated areas, may be problematic due to noise and the feeling of exposure.…”
