The demographic shift towards an ageing population creates one of the most critical social and healthcare challenges of our time. Longer life expectancy presents a growing need for environments that can support the ageing process. This demographic situation is accompanied by a growing number of older adults with cognitive decline and dementia diagnosis. This creates a need to reconsider models of care and living to be more inclusive and community integrated in a supportive environment. A significant portion of individuals with dementia are cared for by relatives at home. However, in the later stages of the condition, some eventually require transfer to long term care.
