Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore the unique interaction between the care that is provided in and the environmental features of hospice residences. Interviews with 40 professionals from eight hospice residences focused on elements of care. Visual content analysis was conducted with 187 photographs of internal and external environments. Three themes illuminated residential care as (a) patient-family-centered, (b) flexible, and (c) comfort-focused. Six environmental features are described as (a) site and context, (b) nature connectivity, (c) arrival spaces, (d) communal spaces, (e) private spaces, and (f) transitional spaces. The interaction between residential care and the environmental features creates environmental serenity.

期刊介绍： Housing is more than houses-it is the foundation upon which the essentials of life are anchored. The quality of housing can enhance or diminish the well-being of individuals and families as well as that of the entire community. Before the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, housing for the elderly as a subject area has a relatively brief history. The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community.
