Successful ageing: Design of residential care facilities for better health delivery

澳大利亚人口正在老龄化。安老院舍需要满足不断扩大的服务需求，并以更高的服务期望回应更挑剔的居民。助手长者护理有限公司、Delfin Lend Lease和Spotless Services有限公司正合作改善自然环境的能力，以逐步适应不断变化的居民护理需求，并支持所有服务提供者（包括外包服务）高效和有效地提供优质护理。研究结果将提供经济效益，因为工人的生产力可以提高，并减少入住后对建筑环境的变化。

Australia population is ageing. Residential aged care will need to meet expanding demands for services and respond to more discerning residents with higher service expectations. Helping Hand Aged Care Inc, Delfin Lend Lease and Spotless Services Limited are collaborating to improve the capacity of the physical environment to be progressively adapted to changing resident care needs and support the efficient and effective provision of quality care by all service providers, including outsourced services. The outcomes of the research will provide economic benefits as worker productivity can be improved and a reduction in post occupancy changes to the built environment.
