Abstract:

This study undertakes a spatial analysis of an Australian aged care setting to explore the role of the built environment in the delivery of a household model of aged care (where residents receive person-centred support in specially-designed, small, homelike environments). Four focus groups with 16 staff were conducted to explore the impact of the built environment in a new residential aged care setting for people living with mental illness. Drawing on Actor-Network Theory and Proxemics, we mapped how the built environment supports improved behaviours and care practices in four key areas: food preparation and dining, sleep and personal self-care, site layout and relationships
