ageing
building design guide
The Guide was developed
for UnitingCare Ageing NSW.ACT with
the aim of supporting the development of better residential buildings
for older people. It brought together best practice from across
the network and provides a process for ensuring better briefing
of architects. The process included staff who worked in the areas
of care, property and management. The Guide addresses alternative
models of care, design concepts, specification of finishes, building
services and financial modelling. The core of the Guide
is a set of 32 Design Guidelines. These are statements that identify
spatial relationships to be satisfied if a building is to support
specific social needs of residents and staff. They bring together
lifestyle, operational and care concerns. Together they provide
a vision of how aged care buildings might provide better places
to live.
