This RIBA/BRE Guide on Assisted Living aims to provide authoritative guidance for architects, other design professionals and many other interest groups on the appropriate design of new and refurbished homes to create the right sort of detailing and services both within the home and adjacent to the home that will enable those living with long term chronic conditions to remain in their homes and to lead independent lives for as long as possible. Creating flexible and adaptable homes will include the installation of digital services to create a safe and comfortable internal environment and, of course, to support the occupants’ health and wellbeing and their contacts with friends, family, carers and the wider community. The first section addresses building fabric and space issues, while the second looks at approaches to the integration of digital infrastructure into homes and small communities such as residential blocks. Presentations from the report launch, held on 30 June 2011, are available here.
