The growing proportion of older people in Western countries means that the proper provision of suitable care facilities is of increasing importance. This timely new book is based on solid practical research carried out over 12 years in over 300 different establishments, and offers a conceptual framework for evaluating group residences for older adults, and new procedures for measuring their quality. It also proposes guidelines for designing new facilities as well as improving existing facilities.
