Proud to Partner with NaDCAS
We are thrilled to announce our partnership with the National Dementia Care Accreditation Scheme (NaDCAS), a leading organisation dedicated to improving the lives of people living with dementia. This collaboration allows us to support NaDCAS’s mission to create care home environments that are not only safe but empowering, reassuring, and truly welcoming.
Why an Enabling Environment Matters
For people living with dementia, the spaces around them whether at home or in care facilities play a crucial role in daily life. Simple tasks like finding a bathroom, recognising a room, or navigating a hallway can be challenging. Thoughtfully designed, dementia-friendly signage transforms these spaces, helping individuals move confidently, participate fully, and feel a genuine sense of belonging.
Bringing Expertise to Life
We are proud to partner with NaDCAS, the leading authority in setting standards for high-quality dementia care. Their evidence-based framework guides care homes in creating environments that promote independence, dignity, and wellbeing for people living with dementia.
At Signage for Care, we bring this framework to life through our dementia-friendly signage and wayfinding solutions. Our designs are carefully developed using research and best practices to create environments that are easy to navigate, reduce confusion, and support memory and confidence.
Key elements of our signage include:
-
High-Contrast Clarity – Signage is designed to stand out, supporting residents with reduced visual perception.
-
Selective Visual Emphasis – Important information is highlighted without overstimulating, making navigation simple and stress-free.
-
Orientation and Memory Support – Familiar icons, tactile features, and dementia-appropriate colours help residents recognize spaces, feel secure, and maintain independence.
A Partnership That Makes a Real Difference
Together, NaDCAS and Signage for Care are setting a new standard for dementia-friendly environments. By combining NaDCAS’s expertise in care accreditation with evidence-based environmental design, we turn best practice guidance into practical, daily improvements - helping care homes create spaces where residents feel safe, confident, and truly at home.
“Working with Signage for Care strengthens our mission to support care providers in creating enabling environments. Their evidence-based design complements the NaDCAS framework, turning environmental design into real, lived improvements for people with dementia.” — Claire Reading, Director of Partnerships and Operations, NaDCAS
We are proud to be part of this journey, bringing dignity, confidence, and independence to every space we touch.
