Research on the Design Points of Elderly Living Space in Foreign Conservation-type elderly Facilities

With the deepening of China's aging population, the number of assisted care facilities for the elderly have increased. However, the spatial model of pension facilities and the setting requirements of the intermediary and nursing unit are not perfect, leading to a series of problems such as the lack of design guidance of the intermediary and nursing unit in most pension facilities, the unreasonable proportion of supporting facilities space. This paper sorts out and summarize the relevant norms and actual cases of care-type elderly facilities in Japan, Germany and the United States, where the elderly system is well developed, and focuses on the spatial design of the elderly rooms in the three countries, exploring the common de-sign points of the elderly rooms in terms of usable area and room size, and summarizing the spatial strategies and methods of care-type elderly facilities. By summarizing and learning foreign experience, we can further improve the standardization level of the construction of elderly care facilities and provide reference for the design and improvement of elderly care facilities in China.
