This is an incredible book because it includes design considerations that are European and American. Northern Europe has a certain view of the aging populace that is very different than that of Americans. Much more focused on wellness, corporal activity, landscape as part of healing, maximizing the aging administer. This book also includes American facilities that are more focused on making a HOME for elders. Wonderful photos too. Comment made that senior residences are calculated for the daughters (those who make the choice) rather than for the residents. This gives you thoughts on how to exchange that come forth… for the positive. Very excellent resource book.
