Innovative Environmental Design in Dementia Care

Post-Renovation

Floor Plan

A new section was created based on a household model. The other two wings have their separate dining spaces and kitchens.

Above is the floor plan of the newly-constructed 10-resident household cluster.

The central activity space at the heart of the household provides easy access from resident rooms. The adjacent dining space and kitchen have domestic scale and ambiance. The household has eight single-occupancy resident rooms and two semi-private rooms. These latter two rooms have much greater privacy than simple rectangular rooms de to their L-shape and a wall to partition the spaces.
