WHAT IS THE CURRENT
DEFINITION OF A
HOUSEHOLD?
A small group of residents living within a physically-defined environment
that "feels like home" and that has a kitchen (with a wide variety of
food accessible to residents around the clock, including breakfast-to-
order and on demand), a dining room and a living room.
Staff is consistently assigned so they can develop meaningful
relationships with the residents, work in self-led teams and perform a
variety of tasks.

CONCLUSION
BENEFITS OF CONTINUING TO IMPROVE HOUSEHOLDS
Residents
• Freedom, Dignity
• Exercise Choices
• Easier Bathroom Use
• Agitation Reduction
• Improved Memory Retention for Many
• Improved Way Finding
• Energy Improved
Caregivers
• Streamline Assistance
• Safety for All
• Eases Personal/ Bathroom Care
• Redesigns Time for Person-Focused Roles
• It’s Rewarding!
Sponsors
• Layouts supporting ADL’s/Memory are Consistent with MDS values and $ per day
• Images Improve: Living Rather than Sedentary Social
• Important to Stakeholders: Families, Residents, Staff and Reviewers
Key Take-Aways
• The physical environment can elevate or hinder the
experience of place from the perspective of
residents, family, and staff members.
• When effective, environments are a 24 hour a day
partner in vitality and memory enhancement… when
falling short, they render the elder a “patient” and
divert precious care- and service partner time to the
short-comings of design rather than elders’ potential.
• There are lessons in the history of design and present
progress suggesting that it is to soon to fix one plan,
size or feature as the icon of healthy aging.
TAKE-AWAYS: Find Time for Meaningful Interactions with Elders in
Small Homes/Neighborhood Layouts
1. Secure Exits Or Staff Bear This Job.
2. Less Noise Or More Agitation.
3. Fewer Distractions Or Confusion. Fragmentation.
5. Streamlined ADL Or Less Time for Intervention
4. Mobility Encouraged Or Staff Must Assist.
6. Needed Items Near Or Staff Run. Hunt. Chaos.
7. Rhythms Supported Or Delivery, Imposes.
8. Activity Designed In Or Mischief. Inactivity...
9. Easy to See, Listen Or Rush. Wait. Worry.
10. Sense of Accomplishment OR Staff Turnover, Absences
Legacy of Missed Opportunities and Small House Design
