The cash, totalling £903,700, will be used to carry out upgrades to 12 wards across Sandwell General Hospital, City Hospital, Rowley Regis Hospital and Leasowes Intermediate Care Unit.
Rachel Overfield, chief nurse, at Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs all four centres, said: "The trust is committed to refining the way we care for people with dementia."
Part of the cash was spent making individual bays on wards distinctive and easily recognisable to the patient.
