Assisted living (AL) facilities are thought to serve residents with minor functional limitations. However, recent research suggests that AL facilities also primarily house a cognitively disabled elderly population with considerable general medical morbidity, in which about two-thirds of the residents suffer from dementia. While the physical environment has been shown to correlate with cognitive and physical well-being of residents in nursing homes (NHs), few studies have systematically investigated the effects of the physical environment of AL facilities on the outcomes.

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is one of the most common treatments used in intensive care units (ICUs). MV is known for causing stress and anxiety in patients due to frequent instances of sleep deprivation, pain, fear, communication difficulties, loneliness, and lack of control. Heightened levels of anxiety can manifest in various detrimental physiological responses and ultimately lead to a sicker patient.

Noise can be an impediment to the sleep and recovery of a patient. An ICU has several instruments and devices that monitor a patient’s vitals as they recover from a surgery. The authors suggest that these essential ICU devices can produce substantial sounds that potentially impact a patient’s outcome.
