Nature-based engagement, ageing in place, and the well-being of community-dwelling older adults living with dementia
There has been an increase in research that explores the everyday well-being of community-dwelling older people living with dementia – including insights into everyday routines, local neighbourhood interactions, connections to nature, and participation in community programmes – and how these contribute to ‘ageing in place’ narratives. Informed by past literature and following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, this comprehensive scoping review collated liter…
Spaces of Liminality, Places of Creative Assemblage
Researchers are increasingly exploring the practicalities of ‘ageing in place’ for community‐dwelling older adults with dementia. Going beyond the parameters of home and local neighbourhood, community‐based creative arts designed for dementia are promoted for their wellbeing potential. This paper presents findings from a doctoral project conducted between 2017 and 2021, which explored a multi‐arts setting at Theatre by the Lake (Cumbria, Northwes…

Further research is needed to explore the importance of setting, material culture and the methodological or theoretical perspectives in participatory arts and dementia research
