"The design of patios, gardens, terraces, and other green areas in facilities for the elderly presents an opportunity to foster interaction, participation in various collective activities, and the establishment of gathering spaces aimed at reducing loneliness among older adults while enhancing well-being and social interaction in connection with nature."
"Reflecting on the living conditions demanded by older adults from the perspectives of architecture and design is accompanied by considerations of sustainability, materials, and accessibility requirements that contribute to the development of their activities and allow for dignified aging."
"The arrangement of outdoor spaces facilitates the integration of older adults with nature, as seen in NORD Architects' Alzheimers Village, which transforms the landscape into a recreational space."
"Sentidos Comprehensive Center for the Elderly also focuses on person-centered care, emphasizing outdoor spaces through various sequences and enhancing the therapeutic value of vegetation, sunlight, and outdoor environments to stimulate active and independent living among residents."
