“…Calkins et al (2007) found that such residents’ exposure to the outdoors resulted in modest improvements in sleep patterns, and a mixed or immeasurable impact on individual residents’ agitation levels under four conditions: winter/no activity, winter/inside activity summer/no activity, and summer/outside activity. The broad value of outdoor wandering gardens for persons with dementia has been reported by Chapman et al (2007), Cohen-Mansfield (2007), Grant and Wineman (2007), Hernandez (2007), Whear et al (2014), and Motealleh et al (2019). A successful program to adapt outdoor gardening activities for persons with dementia was reported by Kwack et al (2005).…”

Background: Independent noninstitutional and institutional residential long-term care environments for older persons have been the subject of significant empirical and qualitative research in the 2005–2022 period. A comprehensive review of this literature is reported, summarizing recent advancements in this rapidly expanding body of knowledge. Purpose and Aim: This comprehensive review conceptually structures the recent literature on environment and aging to provide conceptual clarity and identify current and future trends. Method and Result: Each source reviewed was classified as one of the five types—opinion piece/essay, cross-sectional empirical investigation, nonrandomized comparative investigation, randomized study, and policy review essay—within eight content categories: community-based aging in place; residentialism; nature, landscape, and biophilia; dementia special care units; voluntary/involuntary relocation; infection control/COVID-19, safety/environmental stress; ecological and cost-effective best practices; and recent design trends and prognostications. Conclusions: Among the findings embodied in the 204 literature sources reviewed, all-private room long-term care residential units are generally safer and provide greater privacy and personal autonomy to residents, the deleterious impacts of involuntary relocation continue, family engagement in policy making and daily routines has increased, multigenerational independent living alternatives are increasing, the therapeutic role of nature and landscape is increasingly well-documented, ecological sustainability has increased in priority, and infection control measures are of high priority in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Discussion of the results of this comprehensive review sets the stage for further research and design advancements on this subject in light of the rapid aging of societies around the globe.

The purpose of this study was to conduct an in-depth evaluation of the impact of the construction and use of an enabling garden on resident quality of life in a rural nursing home. This qualitative study used interviews with residents, family members, staff members, and community volunteers who built the garden. Findings suggest the garden had positive effects on resident quality of life, particularly in terms of meaningful daily activities, enjoyment of daily life, resident relationships, and functional competency. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
