10	10	Autonomy mainly relates to the conntection to self. People with dementia want to be in control of their lives and to live as normally as possible, despite their illness. To this end, they should be able to make decisions on their own, but also be provided with help when they seek it. In terms of relation to the environment, homeliness and familiarity are imporant factors which help people with dementia feel at ease, so a familiar environment in which they feel "in control" can provide autonomy.

People should also feel capable of keeping the daily routines they have already established
