“…Though receiving less attention than the role of caregivers, a burgeoning literature also recognizes the influence of the physical environment on safety and health outcomes for those with a neurocognitive disorder, including the impact of wandering behaviors, cooking hazards, medication mismanagement, access to firearms, and improper space design (Horvath et al, 2013; Horvath, Harvey, & Trudeau, 2007; Lach, Reed, Smith, & Carr, 1995; Van Hoof, Blom, Post, & Bastein, 2013). Numerous complications threaten the safety and appropriateness of remaining in the home as symptoms worsen and stresses mount.…”

Some older adults are more vulnerable to housing concerns due to physical and cognitive challenges, including those with a neurocognitive disorder who need extensive support. Environmental gerontology frameworks, including Wiseman’s (1980) Behavioral Model of Elderly Migration, have informed scholarship on aging in place and relocation. It remains unclear, however, the extent to which this conceptual work informs services and supports for older adults, and the Wiseman model has not been applied to people with a neurocognitive disorder. Understanding Wiseman’s model, including considerations for working with families confronting a neurocognitive disorder, can help practitioners ensure that older clients live in settings that best meet their wants and needs.

“…And these traditional partners cannot accurately judge what are, in fact, the important features of a functional design for the future users of a building. van Hoof, Blom, Post, and Bastein (2013) have shown that when various stakeholders from healthcare and architecture work together in programming a building, this leads to innovative design choices which can be backed by the evidence from other scientific domains. Therefore, collaboration is important, and evidence-based design can help make the right design choices in which the methodology follows that of the processes carried out by physicians and care professionals.…”

The design of healthcare facilities is a complex and dynamic process, which can be supported by design support models. This process involves a large number of stakeholders, of whom some have specific health-related needs. Evidence-based design is an emerging approach for the design of healthcare facilities, basing design choices on scientific data. Apart from the problems accompanying the limited access to, and limited availability of, scientific evidence, the design of a building itself is characterised by dimensional, technological and stakeholder complexities that are derived from technology philosophy. This article deals with the derivation of performance indicators and design solutions for healthcare facilities and links this search to the foundations of evidence-based building. The In2Health design model is elaborated as a framework to steer this process and support architects, programmers and process managers. The applicability of the model in the evaluation and design processes of buildings is illustrated by two case studies concerning (i) the evaluation of the indoor environment for older people with dementia and (ii) the design process of the redevelopment of an existing hospital.

“…Apart from these expensive measures, simple bars and handrails can improve accessibility and mobility for older people ( VAN HOOF et al 2010, VAN HOOF et al 2013). Contrary to popular belief, wheelchair accessible kitchens are not among the most frequently encountered modifications to dwellings.…”

“…This increasing group of people has such specific needs in terms of housing and care that they pose great challenges to the various national housing and care systems found in Europe. Throughout Europe, the majority of people with dementia live at home, where they are, to a large extent, dependent on family care, which is supplemented by professional care ( VAN HOOF et al 2009). Being able to age in place requires a wide range of solutions, including specific home modifications and assistive technologies that address the needs of people with dementia.…”

Currently, one of the key challenges on a global scale is the issue of an ageing society. The UN predicts that the number of people aged 60 and over will double by 2050 and treble by 2100. In the coming years, the demand for real estate that addresses the specific needs of older people will increase both qualitatively and quantitatively. Therefore, two main questions arise: What are the architectural features of real estate required to accommodate for the needs of an ageing society? Which European Union countries seem to have the highest and lowest potential to create a segment of the real estate market focused on older people? This paper contains a research overview in the field of the built environment for older people and case studies of different policies established by public authorities from past decades. The potential for real estate for an ageing society in EU countries was determined on the basis of variables collected by the UNECE. The results also enable assumptions to be made on which factors may influence future development in this area. Due to global climate changes combined with the urbanization process and resulting deterioration of air quality, heat island effect or poor accessibility to open areas, the ageing society will have to face the problem of adapting to these new conditions. Therefore, the authors assume that this will have a significant impact on the relocation of this age group on the real estate market in the future. The conclusions of the research contribute to general discussion on new trends in the real estate market and the assessment of future investments in real estate.
