Care takers help the PwD at regular task (e.g. getting dressed in the morning) but can also be called for emergencies at any time. Due to the huge amount of people, care takers have a big workload to cope with, especially if many patients need help at the same time. It's impossible to take care of each individual patient at all time. 5 -Everyone living in the carehome have a daily routine, which includes getting up, breakfast, lunch, coffee time and dinner at certain times. Also, it is possible to participate in different social activities, like singing, solving puzzles or yoga lessons. 4 +**Environment: Person 2** 5 +In a daycare center with 50 other people.

He/She is dropped off every day at8:00hand picked up at 18:00h. The restof the time thePwD is surrounded byfamilymembers that livein the same house. Normally,this environment issuitable for PwD at the earlystages ofdementia.

The family consists e.g. of their child and spouse along with the two grandchildren. All day long, an adult must be at home to take care of the PwD and prevent him/her from going out unsupervised. This is challenging for the whole family (concerning time and money) but can be great for the PwD, since he/she is around with his family and can play with its grandchildren. Normally, the child of the PwD can't continue working (full time). 10 +The objective is to provide care for people with dementia. More specifically, prevent them from wandering around outside of these buildings and getting lost or guide them when they do leave their respective buildings. This can be done by: 12 12 13 -* *SocialEnvironmentincarecenter**14 - Thecarecenterhasdifferentroomslike livingroomandpuzzlesroomwhichsupport food, beverages andpuzzlegamesrespectively.

For example, chirping bird sounds can be associated with a nearby park, thus guiding the person to the park. 14 +* Making the building as inclusive as possible - adding all the person's wants and need so that the person doesn't want to leave the building 16 16 17 -**Requirements for the environment** 18 18 17 +**requirements for the environment** 18 + 19 19 * reachable door 20 -The room or house has to have a door.

That door leads outside the patient's room or outside the building, where the patient is not allowed to go (alone). The door should never be out of the robots reach (no loss of connection to sensor, no stairways), so that the robot can always reach the door and help the patient. 21 21 22 -* gate betweensafe/ unsafe environmentforPwD23 -The doorshouldseparatethe care homefromthe'outside',where thepatientisnotallowedgo(alone).Best caseit's the onlydoorleadingoutwards.22 +* little 'traffic' through door 23 +The Robot-Sensor construction might not be helpful in clinical surroundings, since the sensor at the door must be activated every time a person (doctor, nurse, family) leaves the room. In hospital, rooms is to much 'traffic'. 24 24 25 -**Application** 26 -For our scenario, we focus on environment 1. From these requirements follows that in our case we need to cover the main entrance/ exit door of the care center. We will locate the robot inside the building, in front of the door like a Bouncer. This has the advantage that PwDs are still able to walk around in the building but are prevented from wandering outside. 27 -Furthermore using the robot as door guard has the advantage that only one robot for many Patients is needed. This saves money in terms of acquisition costs and maintenance costs. 25 +**Person-oriented approach** 26 +*To enable the people to continue to live their normal life - the life that they've been living 27 +*Take their feelings and experiences into account 28 +*Do not make them feel like they have dementia.
