Overview

Spaces to Remember: is a thought-provoking exploration of how we design environments for people living with dementia. Drawing from decades of hands-on experience, Dementia Practitioner and author Stephanie Highkin challenges conventional approaches and advocates for a shift toward spaces that prioritize dignity, autonomy, and authentic human connection. As the dementia population grows, the need for compassionate, functional design becomes urgent. This book questions why proven methods that support independence and quality of life aren't more widely implemented. It examines the rise of dementia villages, like the renowned Hogewey in the Netherlands, highlighting how their success lies not in nostalgic aesthetics, but in honoring the personhood of every resident. More than a guide, Spaces to Remember: is a call to action-inviting caregivers, designers, and communities to rethink what's possible when we create environments that truly support those living with dementia.
