Abstract:

The authors of the article conducted a behavioural assessment on 40 residents in a nursing home to identify which residents had difficulty locating their room. They conducted an experiment with six residents to evaluate the impact of placing a portrait like photograph and personal memorabilia in a dispaly case ouside the participant's room. Mean room finding increased by 45%, suggesting that the intervention increased room finding.
