The book delves into the experiences of individuals living in aged care homes, highlighting the expectations of new residents and their families. It examines the dynamics of relationships among residents and caregivers, as well as the various ways people confront the reality of aging and mortality in such environments. Through personal narratives and reflections, it offers a poignant look at the emotional and social aspects of life in these facilities.
This book is a timely and necessary reminder that the often neglected elements and spaces of our built environment - from trash bins, seats, stairways, and fences to streets, bikeways, underpasses, parking lots, and shopping centers - must be thoughtfully redesigned to enhance human and planetary health.
