This book, titled “(Re)designing the Continuum of Care for Older Adults: The Future of Long-Term Care Settings”, offers a fresh perspective on the design of care environments for aging populations. It explores new ideas and approaches to create inclusive, progressive, and responsive care settings that cater to the diverse needs of older adults.

In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the book also addresses the pressing need to rethink the spatial design of care facilities to prepare for future respiratory and contagious pathogens. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of social connectedness and autonomy in care settings. The insights shared in this book contribute to the next generation of knowledge in the field of designing technology, programs, and environments for long-term care that are more effective in infection prevention and control while promoting social connectedness.

The chapters in this book are organized into four sections to cover a wide range of long-term care settings. The first section focuses on home- and community-based care, while the second section dives into facility-based care. The third section explores memory care and end-of-life care, and the final section discusses evidence-based applied projects and the next steps in the field.

Written by notable researchers and scholars, this book is a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, educators, policymakers, and students involved in long-term care home and healthcare settings. It offers diverse perspectives and innovative ideas related to programming, environments, and technologies that can positively impact the changing needs and support for older adults and their families across the continuum of care.
