Design for Assisted Living: Guidelines for Housing the Physically and Mentally Frail

Destined to become the defining work on the subject, Design for Assisted Living: Guidelines for Housing the Physically and Mentally Frail is a timely reference that addresses the single fastest growing segment of the senior living industry, assisted living for those who are unable to live independently but who do not need intensive nursing home care, meals, housekeeping or 24-hour access to medical assistance.

Design for Assisted Living: Guidelines for Housing the Physically and Mentally Frail is a visually rich guide that includes dozens of design solutions from successful assisted living facilities along with 15 case studies from the US and Europe. The book also covers recent developments in the industry including major changes in financing, growth of dementia and interest in aging-in-place. All in all, this is the most comprehensive guide to assisted living design that you'll find in any single volume.
