Modifying common areas to minimize confusion and promote comfort can reduce agitation and help engage memory care residents. Make sure these spaces are bright enough: proper lighting is key, as aging eyes require more light to see. Couches and chairs should be soft and comfortable with solid colors and should have fabrics that consider incontinence and are easy to clean. Furniture should also be positioned to encourage engagement with others or face outdoors. Add artwork to help spark conversations and also provide visual cues that help seniors remember specific rooms.
