Book Synopsis Design for Common Areas of a Continuing Care Retirement Community in China by : Guoli Hu

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s senior population is equivalent to over 14% of its total population, so it can be easily concluded that China is an “aging society” (RenMin RiBao, 2014). In the next 20 years, China’s population will begin to increase at the rate of 10 million each year (Hua Er Jie Jian Wen, 2014). Another relevant fact is that more than 260 million peasant workers are currently working in urban metropolitan cities (China’s Employment, 2013). Therefore, the Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) is essential to provide well-being and care to senior citizens in China. However, the development of CCRC in China is not keeping up with the annual increase in population. The codes and standards for senior housing design are also inadequate and inconsistent. The majority of CCRCs in China continue to focus only on physical facilities, not quality of life of seniors (Tao, Wang, & Ma, 2008). However, the resident’s quality of life (QOL) has been considered as a very important factor when designing senior living facilities in other countries. Therefore, this study hypothesized that physical environments and quality of life both play significant roles in seniors’ life and more attention should be paid when designing the senior housing in China. Under these backgrounds, this research reviewed a range of available literature on senior living design including two main categories, which are physical environment and quality of life. The Physical environment part described information about housing and living environment for older people including the continuing care retirement community, senior living communities and building types in China, standards of the residential building design for the aged in China, wayfinding, and universal design. The second part includes information about quality of life domains, such as safety, enjoyment, relationship, autonomy and choice. This study focused on the common areas of the CCRC in Beijing, China. Both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used to collect and analyze the data. The researcher visited the CCRC, observe and measure physical environments of common areas (i.e. space planning, finish materials, furniture, lighting, universal design features) utilizing physical environment checklists. Data was also collected by conducting in-person surveys with residents and their families and friends, and semi-structured interviews with staff and a manager. The collected data were analyzed to investigate the relationship between CCRC common areas and residents’ quality of life...This research will contribute to the Chinese senior housing industry by incorporating the quality of life domains that emphasize human relationship, choice, and enjoyment along with safety in the physical environment. For future research, the researcher will develop a more comprehensive observation checklist and survey and interview questionnaires that can be applied to different types of senior housing in China to examine seniors’ needs and expectations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is a study of the residential care for elderly people in Beijing, China. First, a set of statistical indicators are developed for mapping the spatial distribution of the elderly population and residential care facilities (RCFs). Secondly, in-depth, semi-structured interviews are used to understand the socio-cultural meanings of access, the decision making process in relocation, the well-being of elderly residents, as well as the challenges of residential care and social welfare reform. In total, 27 elderly residents, 16 family members, and five RCF managers were interviewed in six RCFs in Beijing. The constant comparative method is used to analyze all the transcribed interview materials. There are several major findings resulting from the research: the distribution of the elderly population and residential care resources is geographically uneven across the districts of Beijing and the supply of resources does not match the potential need. Elderly people and their family members choose residential care because of the shortage of community and home care resources and/or the advantages of residential care. The decision making process is a process of balancing geographical factors, quality of services, and financial affordability. Access to residential care is an interactive process influenced by geographical, economic, and social-cultural factors. The physical and socio-cultural environments of RCFs and individual's sense of place play important roles in their adaptation and well-being after the relocation from the home to a RCF. Building up the active aging model with joint efforts from governments, society, RCFs, and individuals is helpful and effective for promoting the well-being of elderly residents in RCFs. At the end, the study also provides suggestions for the government, organizations, and RCFs on aspects such as administration, policy making, planning, volunteering, and management of RCFs to meet the challenges of residential care in China. The study confirms the importance of healthy living environments to the well-being of elderly residents. It also provides knowledge for understanding the reconfiguration of filial piety in decision making processes and utilization of residential care in current Chinese society. From a health geography perspective, this thesis is one of the first studies on residential care in China.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
