Low Table Height-Adding Cap—DL-04

For (With Whom)

People with dementia or similar conditions who are prone to psychological confusion from changes in their environment. People who need the height of furniture they use daily to be adjusted so they can walk while holding onto it.

Why

Environmental arrangement suited to daily activities required consideration for the furniture and living arrangements the person values, and harmony with the continuity of their everyday environment. We decided to adjust the familiar low table to a height that makes it easier to walk along while holding onto it.

How

We checked the movement route from the living room to the toilet in consultation with the care manager. The height added to the low table was set so that, together with a freestanding handrail, walking while holding onto furniture is stable from standing up from the usual seat to moving between rooms.

Outcome

We were able to minimize confusion caused by the environmental adjustment and reduce the risk of falls during daily movements.
