“…The transition from a RLTC setting to a 24/7 rehabilitation facility to a NIRS can result in physiologic functional decline, psychological depression, and social isolation unless adaptive design support interventions are structured and put in place apriori (Gromark & Andersson, 2020; Ngahama et al, 2016; Potter et al, 2018). In a study in Japan, Tsuchiya et al (2019) found that unsafe, unpredictable residential settings undermine personal independence and well-being.…”

Background: Independent noninstitutional and institutional residential long-term care environments for older persons have been the subject of significant empirical and qualitative research in the 2005–2022 period. A comprehensive review of this literature is reported, summarizing recent advancements in this rapidly expanding body of knowledge. Purpose and Aim: This comprehensive review conceptually structures the recent literature on environment and aging to provide conceptual clarity and identify current and future trends. Method and Result: Each source reviewed was classified as one of the five types—opinion piece/essay, cross-sectional empirical investigation, nonrandomized comparative investigation, randomized study, and policy review essay—within eight content categories: community-based aging in place; residentialism; nature, landscape, and biophilia; dementia special care units; voluntary/involuntary relocation; infection control/COVID-19, safety/environmental stress; ecological and cost-effective best practices; and recent design trends and prognostications. Conclusions: Among the findings embodied in the 204 literature sources reviewed, all-private room long-term care residential units are generally safer and provide greater privacy and personal autonomy to residents, the deleterious impacts of involuntary relocation continue, family engagement in policy making and daily routines has increased, multigenerational independent living alternatives are increasing, the therapeutic role of nature and landscape is increasingly well-documented, ecological sustainability has increased in priority, and infection control measures are of high priority in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Discussion of the results of this comprehensive review sets the stage for further research and design advancements on this subject in light of the rapid aging of societies around the globe.

“…Suzuki et al 5 have been conducting questionnaire surveys with unit residents to analyze the site quality of the units. Moreover, Yamaguchi et al 6 have been investigating the characteristics of construction projects by analyzing the ground plans of REPS. Sannomiya et al 7 conducted a study similar to ours, in which they investigated REPS across the nation on a city-by-city basis in terms of their areas, facilities/amenities, space composition, and services provided. The results of their study showed that most REPS in rural municipalities were providing nursing care in the groupliving format; however, as the by-city scale expanded, the number of REPS fully equipped with facilities/amenities increased, with a higher percentage of REPS providing simple services such as serving meals.…”

This study analyzed location trends in residences for elderly people with services in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, and the result shows that residences for elderly people with services in the central metropolitan area have a large area of housing, and many residents with high levels of independence live in it and are provided home‐care services for the elderly. On the contrary, residences for elderly people with services in remote areas from the Tokyo metropolitan area are smaller, and many older adults need nursing care to move into these housing units. Also, these tiny residences for elderly people have a daycare service to provide care for their residents.

This work aims to clarify mismatches between the health condition of residents of the Elderly Housing with Supportive Services (EHSS) and quality of dwelling unit to understand how to improve the quality of the living environment. This work reviews development trends in EHSS and population growth to understand the difficulties faced in improving EHSS in the community. Data were collected from the information disclosure system on the WEB site and through a questionnaire survey of EHSS management bodies. Although residents in regions with large populations have more variety, the plan‐service types available in smaller regions had disproportionately high amounts of room types with moderate to high care, despite that distribution of residents’ necessary care levels were constant across region size. Development of EHSS for self‐supporting residents or those needing mild care is a necessity. Mismatches also emerged between health condition, household size, and degree of care. Many couples were living in R‐housing, displaying a difficulty in EHSS to meet the needs of couples who wish to continue living together. Many residents able to live independently are living in R‐housing, restricting their daily living activities, and presenting a risk of losing the motivation to live.
