| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this thesis was to help the East Baltimore Community Corporation define the nature and scope of a mixed care facility for the elderly which it would like to construct on the site of a former brewery in Baltimore, Maryland. Different options for the levels of care and housing types are stated and five separate case studies of existing environments for the elderly are included. Issues relating to the operation, financial feasibility, and architectural character of each particular setting are identified. Information gained from these studies and other resource persons in Baltimore formed a basis from which specific recommendations about the size, type of care and scope of the facility are made. Different attitudes about the delivery of care to older persons are also examined and provide a conceptual framework for the recommendations. | en |
