‘A newly redesigned shower room aims to improve care for people living with dementia.

 
Located in the Specialized Dementia Unit at University Health Network’s Toronto Rehab University Centre, the space addresses a common challenge in care environments, where unfamiliar surroundings, noise, and limited privacy can make showering a disorienting and stressful experience.

 
The design takes a biophilic approach that uses wood and natural colors to create a calmer atmosphere.
