内容説明

With the aging of the population, increasing numbers of people will need some type of assistance to maintain their independence. One of the fastest-growing options in long-term care is assisted living, a residential model of living arrangements that strives to combine housing and supportive services in a less institutional facility. In this work, the editors have brought together researchers and practitioners in the field to examine various aspects of the design and function of assisted living facilites. Concentrating on those characteristics that foster autonomy, the contributors offer case examples that bridge the gap between theory and practice. They comment on issues that include health care, the special needs of assisted living for persons with dementia, the importance of marketing and management, and the design of culturally sensitive facilities. The book is intended as a resource for researchers, designers and policymakers, as well as stuents in gerontology and architecture.
