Design For The Elderly
No review available
No review available
In a world where more adults than ever are looking for an affordable way to spend their later years worry free, this book offers something truly valuable -- the ability to choose an independent lifestyle. The author, who is an interior design with a master‰s degree in gerontology, suggests easy home alterations that can help people live comfortable and safely as they age.
This book focuses on the growing elderly population as a key market for successful healthcare services in the 1990's and beyond. Designed for planners, administrators, and directors of programs for the elderly, the book outlines the changes health care organizations will need to make to provide competitive services for the elderly.
Innovative ideas for designing facilities for hospitals, ambulatory care centers, special treatments centers, nursing homes, senior communities, and more.
Based on current research in the U.S. and U.K., this book is a highly practical manual which tackles all the planning and design issues surrounding the subject from independent housing through to nursing and dementia care.
This book draws on research in architecture, technology, product design, and rehabilitation to solve problems in housing the elderly and disabled.
This book is those who are interested in learning about the field of environment and aging; who believe in choices and autonomy in long-term care; who are seeking paths of innovations in design and management of facilities for eldercare; who are pursuing architecture as a meeting place for the behavioral and environmental design disciplines; and who are working toward more humane settings for provision of home, as well as care for the frail elderly. It follows two lines of inquiry in the attempt to explain why it seems that in the design of the nursing home environment, we have achieved the worst of both worlds: an institutional setting that goes too far, yet does so little for its residents.
This book offers owners and designers one complete resource for practical ideas and workable procedures for improving existing facilities. It guides you through rearrangements, minor cosmetic refurbishment's and more extensive renovations. Also addresses design issues for the mentally impaired person and the methods for achieving privacy.
Due to the ballooning senior population that is a larger, healthier group than ever before, the design of retirement communities has become one of the fastest-growing design specialties. The book covers all aspects of planning, designing, and marketing living facilities for older people, from elderly housing to senior community centers, residential care facilities, nursing homes, and continuing care retirement communities. The authors explain not only the special design requirements of senior citizens, but also the different marketing options for developers of senior facilities. Key design issues are covered in depth, from building and landscape design to room-by-room details.
A book that covers exterior and interior design strategies that meet the functional needs of the elderly. |
