The Dementia Caregiver's Toolbox : Dementia Caregivers Tour The Virtual Home

Developed by Rosemary Bakker, MS, ASID, an interior designer with a background in gerontology, thiscaringhome.org is an interactive website that allows dementia caregivers to get real tips about the 4 key areas of the home:  the bedroom, the kitchen, the living room and the bathroom.  Once a participant clicks on an area such as the bathroom, the site highlights many other detailed areas within the bathroom such as the towel rack, bathtub, lighting, etc.  There is written narration as well as some audio feedback that describes some key suggestions for safety.
