Humanistic Design of Assisted Living

Beschreibung

John P. Marsden has translated research-based information into innovative and practicable design strategies that directly address those unfavorable perceptions of assisted living facilities. He discusses successful humanistic design and presents a conceptual framework, based on consumer-based research, composed of six themes: familiar housing cues, protective enclosure, caring cues, human scale, usability, and naturalness. He applied this framework to specific guidelines for building exteriors, interior entries, and common shared spaces.
