5.1	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:
2.2	11
5.1	12	* Assisting the person distracting him/her from leaving the building
	13	* A stimulus that's associated with a location. 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

	19	* reachable door
5.1	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.
1.2	21
2.2	22	* little 'traffic' through door
5.1	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'.
1.2	24
5.1	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. So give them the confidence to do daily activities on their own, and provide assistance when necessary
