An invaluable resource for everyone who is involved in the planning, design, operation and management of nursing and eldercare facilities; especially in integrating the needs of the elderly within a modern high-density urban community like Singapore. This Design Sourcebook offers a quick and multi-faceted reference kit to jump-start the design and development of a nursing home. Case Studies representing a cross-section of existing nursing homes in Singapore are coupled with a wide range of exploratory ideas in the Design Showcase. Together with useful dimensioned drawings provided in the Design Templates, the user of this Sourcebook will benefit from a comprehensive approach to the design and development of nursing and eldercare facilities; in anticipation of the increasing demand for such services globally due to a rapidly ageing population.
