Ideas Worth Sharing
This book provides concrete examples of promising practices for physical environments in long-term residential care: everything from the location of a nursing home and the structure of gardens to the floor coverings, chair arms, and spaces for memorials. Physical environments are about more than setting the conditions for living and care provision. They also shape and reflect how care and life in nursing homes are understood. They construct limits and possibilities for residents, staff, families and volunteers. Our hope is that readers will use the information in this book to contribute to these environments.
Physical Environments for Long-term Care is also available as an e-book:
- Apple iBookstore (for iPhone, iPad and Macs)
- Smashwords.com (for Amazon Kindles, Windows Phones, Kobos, Palm and online web-reader)
