Did you know that in most aged care homes, residents spend very little time outdoors? Outdoor spaces can provide positive health, psychological and social outcomes.
🌳 The National Aged Care Design Principles and Guidelines encourage aged care homes to make practical design changes that improve people’s quality of life, including access to safe outdoor spaces. 🏡
To learn what good aged care design looks like, click here.
The principles and guidelines focus on creating more accessible, dementia-friendly and home-like living environments. This will help improve quality of life for older people living in residential aged care and working environments for aged care staff.
Older people, especially those living with cognitive impairment or dementia, will benefit from well-designed aged care accommodation that is guided by four principles:
Enable the Person
Support people living in a place that maintains their health, wellbeing and sense of identity. Create a familiar environment in which people have privacy, control and feel they belong.
Cultivate a Home
Support people seeing, accessing and spending time outdoors in contact with nature.
Access the Outdoors
To support people seeing, accessing and spending time outdoors in contact with nature.
Connect with community
Encourage people to connect with family, friends and community, continuing to participate in meaningful activities.
Gardening is a well loved activity that brings joy, peace, and a sense of accomplishment. For residents in aged care or disability housing, gardening can be particularly therapeutic.
