Hello,

I was wondering if there was any kind of document that is available that
outlines the type of features that would be beneficial when specifying
furniture for a residence hospital. For example, a dining chair should have
castors in the front, rounded arms with upholstery, maximum height,
removeable cushions, etc.

Regards,,,Carol

In my book “Designing for Alzheimer’sDisease: Strategies for Creating Better Care Environments” there are several chapters on seating and other types of furniture - if it works for older adults - it works for anyone.
