| Abstract | ||||
| This research presents the impact of the philosophy of care (Care Model), on the design process of long-term care facilities, and in turn, its influence on the care recipients’ quality of life. The research includes a comparison of the most prominent differences that appeared in the interior design of those facilities before and after the emergence of the 'Cultural Change Movement', which originated in the United States, and called for a care model that respects the right of each individual to dignity, respect, comfort and welfare. The research is divided into several sections, starting by defining long -term care facilities, then clarifying the concept of quality of life, and then addressing the principles of the 'Cultural Change Movement', and finally a comparison to clarify the fundamental differences between the traditional design approach and the current design approach to those facilities. This research aims to examine some of the principles and practices of the 'Cultural Change Movement', which is characterized as a model of ' Person-Centered Care', which aims to create spaces that give the individuals a sense of comfort and joy, and enable them to live a normal life as much as possible, making them feel that they are competent individuals who control their lives and environment, despite their physical or mental disability. | ||||
