NHS hospitals have undergone a vintage makeover to help dementia patients cope with stress and anxiety.
Old photographs and cinema films, ration books and a replica 1950s television have been used to transform wards across the country into reassuringly familiar settings.
NHS England believes the “dementia-friendly adaptations” could help patients who struggle to adjust to their surroundings.
This could help lessen the likelihood of falls and reduce patients’ reliance on medicine.
