ISSUES OF PLANNING ON DAILY LIFE PERFORMANCE IN GROUP HOME

In group home for the elderly with dementia, there are some issues from the view of daily life performance. At first, low quality of private room physically leads to unsuitable residential space because of few furniture arrangements, and basic private activities are pursued in common space by some residents. Then most of principal activities in private room are performed on “bed”, for example eating and drinking, conversation with someone, watching TV, reading or listening or playing game and so on. Planning concept of private room should be change to more “normal” living condition.
