Abstract
Adults with Down's syndrome living in supported accommodation, who develop dementia, may also experience other preventable difficulties caused by the environment in which they live. This can result in their enforced move to different accommodation. Yet it is known that it is beneficial for people with learning disabilities and dementia to remain in familiar surroundings for as long as possible. The article puts forward a new set of guidelines suggesting the modification of the living environment of adults with Down's syndrome before they develop dementia. The guidelines are discussed along with possible barriers to their implementation.
