Acessibilidade para idosos em ambientes internos: a atualidade dos projetos no design de interiores

This article sought to identify how accessibility is currently available for seniors indoors, considering interior design projects. This is a qualitative-descriptive study - which quantified and described the scientific findings - under a literature review method. All scientific findings were respected and characterizing tables were organized for better observation and understanding of each scientific article. The absence of technical criteria and equipment that make an accessible environment, both internal and social, still produces difficulties in the accessibility criterion. The assessment of the environment that involves daily relationships involving the elderly has become a factor of exponential importance for maintaining the health of these individuals and the autonomy of domestic activities. It is concluded that it is essential to minimize the internal “barriers” of the nursing home regarding accessibility and functionality of the space.
