Description

As age advances, physical and mental abilities often decline. Many frail elderly people find it necessary to enter a specially designed caring environment offering varying degrees of support and enabling them to lead a happy contented life. These environments vary in the extent of care which they are able to give. Yet they must all aim at satisfying the physical and emotional needs of a growing proportion of our ageing society. This study provides a fascinating survey of all the major types of caring environment and the facilities within them. It is essential reading for all professionals concerned with design and care for elderly and frail people.
