[Towards "homelike" in nursing home: feedback from a co-design workshop with residents].

While it is necessary to provide « homelike » in nursing homes, the risk is to reduce it to decoration. As the aim is to reconcile care and home, we propose co-design, an approach involving users in the design of living spaces, as a solution. We propose tools and a protocol, then provide feedback from a workshop on co-designing a collective space with three residents in a nursing home in Île-de-France. We thoroughly analyse the contributions of the residents during the workshop, and then compare their proposals with the opinions of the nurses. We found that the workshop enabled participants to express concret needs that tended towards « homelike » proposals. The convergence of day-to-day expertise, through co-design, encourages design solutions that are suitable for everyone, while its role in mediation supports organisational change in the nursing home.
