What are the benefits?

​

The path(s) can use creative signage, colours, and branding, and can integrate with parks, local shopping areas, community centres, and other important destinations. Beyond the benefits for people living with dementia, this type of safe, comfortable, accessible walking path can be an enjoyable destination and travel route for kids, seniors, people with disabilities, and other community members more broadly. It can also help raise awareness in the community and reduce stigma.

The following page shows a few conceptual examples of what a dementia-inclusive walking and rolling path could include—and how the strategies and actions from the three design scales all work together.
