AI Article Synopsis
- The design and construction of nursing homes primarily emphasize architecture, often overlooking the importance and cost of well-planned gardens.
- This neglect can lead to outdoor spaces that are inaccessible and poorly designed for residents with disabilities.
- A collaborative effort among three French institutions aims to address these issues by creating dementia-friendly outdoor environments through scientific, educational, and practical approaches.
Article Abstract
Conception and construction of nursing homes focuses mostly on architectural design. The cost of gardens and amount of work they require is usually underestimated. This often results in inaccessible, unfit and poorly designed outdoor spaces. This article describes a partnership between three French institutions established in response to the needs of people with cognitive disabilities. This partnership led to three different approaches (scientific, pedagogical and practical) with a common objective to provide dementia-friendly outdoor spaces.
