A National Health Estates book, Health facilities Note 19, HFN19,
"Design of residential and Care Homes for Older People" available
from the Centre for Accessible Environments.
Here in Wales, we also have National minimum "Standards for Care
homes for Older People" and another for Young People published by
the Welsh Assembly. I have seen a consultation copy of an English
version about 2001.

Subject: Design of Care Homes
Importance: High
Hi All,
Was wondering whether anyone on the list had come across design
guidance for care homes? I have been contacted by a colleague
asking if anything like this exists which might help persuade the
Architects to build a proposed new Care Home to accessible
standards.
Any help will be gratefully received.
John.
