Designing successful gardens and outdoor spaces for individuals with alzheimer's disease. Brawley, E. C. Journal of Housing for the Elderly, 21(3-4):265–283, 2007. ![Designing successful gardens and outdoor spaces for individuals with alzheimer's disease [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex There are many benefits derived from exposure to the outdoors for older adults with Alzheimer's disease, which include exposure to fresh air, sunlight and opportunities for walking and other forms of exercise. There are also opportunities for socialization that can minimize feelings of isolation and vulnerability, improve depression, enhance self-esteem, and simply experience the joys and surprises of nature. While there seems to be universal agreement of the health and quality of life benefits in getting institutionalized persons into appropriate outdoor settings, in many ways gardens and outside spaces have failed. Time after time visitors stroll through the gardens admiring the landscaped grounds, the abundance of beautiful and fragrant flowers and other features, while noting the absence of residents. Creditable research studies support the health benefits of exposure to the outdoors and nature. This discussion of design issues, barriers to use, the role of activity, the necessity of staff involvement, and design recommendations supports the urgent need for empirical research to inform the development of effective gardens and outdoor spaces to benefit older adults with Alzheimer's disease. © 2007 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
