“…The study by Choi et al looked at guidelines for elderly housing in modular-based prototypes. The prototype followed the analysis of the behavior of the elderly and design guidelines and included a standardized kitchen, prefabricated bathroom, and entrance [33]. The design of residential environments has an impact on people's behavior within it; in the work by Janahi [34], the expected level of newly developed facilities and household privacy are influenced by the neighborhood's social cohesion and dwelling layouts.…”

The aging population requires housing developments that can adapt to their changing needs. The study examines the use of steel volumetric modular technology to construct collective senior housing for independent, sustainable living. The authors explore the qualities of senior housing projects through a literature survey and case studies. Projects appreciated in the architectural industry, illustrating the best practices, are considered. For the development part, the feasible design variants are proposed, BIM modeled, and expertly assessed. Optimization of the types and numbers of modules is carried out to make the most effective use. The potential for generating appropriate flow and social interaction in the shared spaces is also tested. The results prove that a single dwelling unit may embody many features of a suitable architecture for older adults and be used to construct collective senior housing buildings. However, a 3D module with two rooms on either end and a corridor in the middle (the most economical form of 3D prefabrication) is unsuitable for senior housing. Additionally, a narrow 3D module cannot accommodate a complete dwelling unit due to increased dimension needs. Designers and builders must balance economics with the requirements of aging residents to widen the range of volumetric prefabrication areas.

With the significant increase in global ageing and its derivative risks, governments and academic communities have been widely concerned with research on facilities of combined medical and nursing care for the elderly (FCMNCE). Using Citespace and VOSviewer bibliometric software, in this paper, we explore the evolutionary phases, hotspots, and trends in research on FCMNCE. First, the concept and connotation of FCMNCE are clarified. Secondly, based on a bibliometric analysis of the number of annual publications, disciplinary distribution, publication sources, and country distribution, we classify research on FCMNCE into four phases: the exploratory phase of influencing factors, the constructive phase of combined medical and nursing care patterns, the improvement phase of life quality, and the synergistic development phase of science and technology. Thirdly, based on a bibliometric analysis of keyword clustering, annual overlap, and burst keywords, the research hotspots of FCMNCE are identified. Finally, we predicts that future research on FCMNCE will be characterized by the trends of smart elderly facilities, smart medical services, and public health risks. Our conclusion can help researchers to understand the research status and development trends of FCMNCE and select future research directions based on their disciplinary background.
