Research conducted in different nursing homes (NHs) shows that the main focus of care in nursing homes is to meet the physical and medical care needs of residents with emphasis on basic care such as bathing, dressing, medication administration, nutrition, providing wound care, and other types of medically driven procedures, not on maximizing the function and time spent in physical activity.

While many healthcare facilities claim to have incorporated flexibility and adaptability into their new design, few have documented the outcomes of such claims. In reality, many healthcare facilities are outdated before they are built and fully occupied. These facilities then require extensive renovation and replacement during their life cycle to respond to changing demands of demographics, technology, and care delivery models.

Previous research suggests that even small interior design changes can have positive effects on patients receiving treatment in a variety of healthcare environments. Many of these studies examine patient populations that were moved to completely renovated facilities that featured a multitude of new designs and installations, making it difficult to understand how each individual design change affects the patients.
