Most of us don’t spend much time thinking about how easy it is to recognize the buildings in our neighbourhood, or to find our way around streets close to home.

Further, living with dementia can change a person’s perception, senses, thinking, and problem solving, making it difficult to navigate their neighbourhoods.
