Die Autorin analysiert die tatsächliche Nutzung eines Pflegeheimgebäudes. Dabei werden die räumlichen Gestaltungskriterien aus Sicht der verschiedenen Nutzergruppen erfasst und bewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass keine Spezial-Umwelten für demenzkranke Menschen benötigt werden, sondern besonders sorgfältig geplante Umwelten, die auch alters- und krankheitsspezifischen Einschränkungen Rechnung tragen.
