Lead and manage group living for adults
1.1 Review current theoretical approaches to group living provision for adults
A group living environment is designed to meet the specific needs of individuals in situations that are as normal as possible rather than institutional care.
Group living can include facilities for adults in residential homes, nursing homes or sheltered / extra care housing.
Wolfesberger (1975) identified some negative features of large-scale institutions, individuals were segregated from society often kept in degrading conditions and treated inhumanely.
Over the year’s different theoretical approaches to group living provisions for adults have changed the way in which we offer our care services and living provisions.

One needs to put themselves in the shoes of the service user and their carers when you think about the building / environment.
The work of Judd (1997) explores how an environment is designed to enhance well-being. E.g. does the design of the building compensate for disability, maximise independence, enhance self-esteem, demonstrate care for staff, reinforce personal identity and welcome relatives and the local community?
1.5 Justify proposals for providing and maintaining high quality decorations and furnishings for group living
It has long been recognised that there is a relationship between the design and quality of the environment and its impact on relationships and social interaction. The avoidance of an institutional look and feel should be the first consideration.
1.6 Develop an inclusive approach to decision making about the physical environment
A well-managed group living service will strive to be as inclusive as possible when it comes to making decisions about the physical environment. For example the cooker at our home broke down and we included all the service users in the decision of which cooker to buy, we also asked the opinions of our support workers and an occupational therapist along with family members.
2.1 Evaluate the impact of legislation and regulation on daily living activities
Legislative and regulatory demands on group living services are intended to ensure that the provision of daily living activities takes
There are different types of theoretical approaches that support positive group living for children and young people in a residential setting. These include social pedagogical approach and outcomes-focused service provision for children and young people in group care; psycho-social approaches and therapeutic programmes for children and young people needing them, e.g. counselling, behaviour management programmes
Over the year’s different theoretical approaches to group living provisions for adults have changed the way in which we offer our care services and living provisions. Person centred planning has had major impacts and affected group living in many ways,
Assisted Living Homes are designed to provide residents with basic everyday assistance. An important aspect is that assisted care facilities provide a safe and comfortable environment for older adults who need assistance with duties such as bathing, dressing, shopping, cooking, grooming, arranging doctor’s appointments, medication administration and laundry services. These facilities have social and recreational activity programs designed to keep the residents active. The recreation groups provide residents with activities for enjoyment, exercise, and interactions with others to build character. Special activities such as luncheon,

The residents at an assisted living community can expect to have a great deal of freedom over how they spend their days. While
The environment is rich with cues that maybe very influential with ultimate satisfaction on service. In my agency these are some of the things we have done to make the environment engaging and welcoming. We have an internet café in the waiting area where has access to computers to conduct job search, build resumes or apply for housing while they wait to be seeing. Our waiting area is set-up similar to a Livingroom with sofas that are comfortable and allows personal space. There is a small refreshment area where clients can help themselves to coffee, tea or water. Also, we have words of inspiration on the
In some states, the term “assisted living” or “assisted living facility” includes all types of group settings that provide some level of in¬home support services. In other states, assisted living facilities are specifically licensed and regulated by state law. In these states, assisted living facilities must provide the services and features the state requires. Assisted living facilities are a housing option for those who need a wide range of in-home support services to help them with activities of daily living. However, residents in these facilities do not require the level of continuous nursing care that a nursing home
Though there are several types of communities, most can be broken down into two categories: independent living and active adult neighborhoods. Independent living arrangements are often multi-unit settings featuring a meal plan with housekeeping, laundry, and transportation services. Though these benefits do have their merit, many prospective buyers are searching for a more lively neighborhood and lifestyle. These active adult communities offer a wide range of facilities and amenities ranging from tennis courts and golf courses to public gardening areas and event accommodations. Active adult communities cater to individuals wanting less responsibility and more opportunities for fun and relaxation while keeping routines of home life intact.
Services are provided to individuals who wish to live in a group home setting, need significant assistance with activities of daily living, are 18 years or older, have a diagnosis of intellectual disability receive case management services through Henrico Area Mental Health & Developmental Services, or another CSB/BHA.
The interior design proposal for this project is to create an innovative and unique design for an up-to-date Holistic Health Centre. We will be using the
As a result of growing evidence regarding the effects of environmental characteristics on the health and wellbeing of people in healthcare facilities, more emphasis is being placed on, and more attention being paid to, the consequences of design choices in general hospitals. A general hospital is a large medical facility where patients with many different types of ailments are given care. In the United States there is a movement to improve the interiors of medical facilities by basing planning and design decisions on this evidence of beneficial features to achieve the best possible patient, staff and operational outcomes constituting evidence-based design. As a result these constructed or renovated hospitals will serve patients and be a workplace for personnel for decades. The impact of the physical environment of general hospitals on the health and wellbeing of the patients as well as staff has received accelerating academic attention. Although, the question still remains whether healthcare design and its enormous cost is worth it. A major factor is that no amount of interior design can make up for experienced staff, state of the art technology, and medicine. It is important to know where medicine stops working and where the environment starts to influence healing. Would it be better for the medical community to invest more of their money, time, and resources into the interior environment or to medical advancements? Therefore, the goal of this research is to find
In community spaces, the special is the environmental behavior, in which the study focuses on the atmospheric effect of public spaces or on their interior elements, such as lighting, music, and scent. To identify the relationship between the public environment and the sense of place, this study aims to determine the atrium patterns setting factors that provide a sense of place to the community. The important physical aspects of atrium pattern design include architectural and functional esthetics. Architectural aesthetics include many types of architectural elements like shapes, colors, scale, materials, textures, and other accessories used to define or decorate the space. Layout, signage, and comfort level are functional aspects that should also be considered.
Balancing the needs of a growing community with the desire for modern comforts has led to the construction of
When it comes to the designing of a house, the number of people who live inside a house should be put into account. (Darling 2009) Modern architecture in somehow seems to understand and accept a larger and different variety of lifestyles. (Darling 2009) Average American home suits less than three people, but you can never guess that from the configuration and size of most of the new houses. (Darling 2009) As not everyone plans on getting married and having three kids. (Darling 2009) The variety in home design accepts the variety and
