Has anyone considered using vivid colors in the rooms of agitated dementia patients? I am thinking shocking pink or bright orange. i realize that the current thinking is to keep colors bland and neutral. Anyone ready to try even a few bright geometric shapes in the room of an agitated loved on.
I read a post from someone with Bipolar disorder. She stated that when she was agitated and encountered these colors they were immediately calming. Any thoughts?
So, Veronica, with the bright colors, it Might disorient the dementia patient. Too much visuals to look at, confuse them. I need to check my notes, though. Yeah, I took lots of handwritten notes!
