Architecture of Aging: The Impact of Architecture on Palliative Care and Hospice
View/ Open
Abstract
Hospice care provides empathetic care for people
in the last phases of terminal illness, so that they may
live as fully and comfortably as possible.
Palliative care in combination with hospice care
is intended to help patients be comfortable while
allowing them to enjoy the last stage of life.
Physical healing can be impacted by the mental
healing space, as well as the surrounding wellness
space. Research methods such as case studies and
other methods will be used to answer a broad question,
how or why does nature create a dynamic healing
space? Architecture can also impact mental healing.
In turn, how does architecture impact hospice and
palliative care?
