Summary/Abstract: In the context of the upward trend of population aging, the number of people affected by neurocognitive disorders (NCD) is also increasing, the most well-known being Alzheimer's dementia. Maintaining for as long as possible a better quality of life in these patients depends very much on the built environment, in this sense we are talking about enabling built environments. The paper aims to explain the concept of enabling built environment dedicated to the older persons with neurocognitive disorders (EBEnc) with application on residential centers for seniors such as nursing-home and respite centers.
