Abstract

The rapid aging of the elderly causes various elderly problems, and in particular, the problem of elderly facilities is a burden on both the elderly and their families and causes an increase in demand for elderly welfare facilities. In particular, senior welfare centers should induce active emotional and psychological stability as well as physical function recovery so that the elderly can become the subject of community health. The elderly welfare center should create a customized healing environment as a starting point for the elderly, but the current elderly welfare facilities are focusing on building infrastructure and neglecting to relieve the loneliness of the elderly and take care of mental health. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find the direction of the design of the healing environment of the elderly welfare center through the analysis of the healing environment of the elderly welfare center and to provide an effective healing environment to the elderly. The characteristics of the healing environment design analyzed through previous studies were classified into five categories: safety, comfort, sociality, accessibility, and habitability, and consisted of a total of 15 evaluation items. Elderly welfare centers are installed with additional educational and leisure spaces compared to general elderly welfare facilities. The best characteristics of the elderly welfare center’s education and leisure space were comfort and sociality, and habitability was found to be insufficient.
