Signage for Dementia Care

Dementia-specific signage is a must-have feature on every dementia care home checklist. 

Catering for residents way-finding and orientation needs is not just a reasonable expectation but a human right. Failing to provide appropriate signage is failing to provide adequate support for residents.

From the mid-2000’s, dementia-specific signage has evolved from over-sized, primary coloured signs into more sophisticated, dignified designs that rely on light reflectance values to meet the contrast requirements of an aging eye.

Non-reflective surfaces and chamfered edges make signs easier to read and safe when installed at the requisite height of 1.2M to 1.4M from floor level, ensuring they are in everyone’s field of vision.

Personalised signage for bedrooms is a must in providing adequate support for independence and confident navigation in a never-familiar environment.

All TCHD products are designed with dementia as a primary consideration. We incorporate all the dementia-specific features universally acknowledged by Stirling University et al whilst maintaining a dignified ‘normal' appearance with a flexibility of finish so look appropriate in any home.

Used in homes properties around the world, TCHD signs are British-made and hand-finished with pride and always with the needs of the end user in mind.
