本文分析了瑞典有关老年人护理的法律以及老年人辅助生活住房的建筑设计。瑞典有一种主要的辅助生活设施模式,作者认为这是一种规范的结果,而不是作为总体法律的《社会服务法》中规定的要求。该法规定,对老年人的护理应当个性化。主要的辅助生活模式为每位居民提供小型且相同的起居室,他们每天在其中度过超过 15 小时。建议这些房间不能满足每个人的愿望和需求。瑞典的辅助生活在法律上与普通住房属于同一类别。然而,过去的医学和机构思维模式已融入到这些设施的生产中优先考虑的规范思维方式中。这一规范是由较低级别的立法和规则(例如标准)培育的。
This paper presents an analysis of the Swedish laws concerning care to older people and the architectural design of housing for them in assisted living. There is one predominant model of assisted-living facilities in Sweden, which the author argues is the result of a norm, rather than the requirements stated in the Social Services Act, which is the over-arching law. This Act states that care to the old person should be individualised. The predominant assisted-living model offers small and identical bed-sitting rooms to each resident where they spend more than 15 h per day. It is suggested that these rooms do not accommodate the wishes and needs of each and every individual. Assisted living in Sweden is legally ranked in the same category as ordinary housing. However, medical and institutional mind-sets from the past are embedded in a normative way of thinking that take precedence in the production of these facilities. This norm is nurtured by lower level legislation and rules, such as standards.
