Designing the modern nursing home is an extremely complex and time-consuming task involving the expertise of many professional disciplines, as well as the input of community and potential patients-if the job is to be done well. Often the complexities dominate, and the excessive burden of integrating the tremendous number of pieces of the problem forces expedient choices at the level where concentrated design effort should be brought to bear-the spaces accessible to the people who must live in the setting.
