This study analyzed relationships between the architectural layout of seven dementia units and residents’ well-being outcomes. Physical well-being was assessed through comfort and stimulation, while social well-being was assessed through status, behavioral confirmation, and affection. Verbal and physical agitated behaviors were observed and documented. Results revealed varied correlations across well-being dimensions and agitation patterns, including inconsistencies across layouts supporting social well-being versus increased agitation in layouts supporting status and affection.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":35,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/built-environments-and-dementia-care-architectural-layouts-as-determinants-of-resident-well-being/428032/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/built-environments-and-dementia-care-architectural-layouts-as-determinants-of-resident-well-being/428032.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Putri","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-08","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":19},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"How many dementia units were included in the study, and what was the main objective?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The study examined seven dementia units to determine how their architectural layouts relate to residents’ well-being.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What dimensions of well-being were measured?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Physical well-being was measured using comfort and stimulation.

Yet unexpectedly, inconsistencies were seen between layouts that support residents’ social well-being and agitated behaviors, with increased agitated behaviors occurring in layouts that support status and affection. This exploratory study offers insights into the significance of the architectural layout of dementia units in augmenting residents’ well-being. Furthermore, this novel research sheds light on the potential of employing quantitative tools for comprehensively examining the spatial configurations of such units. Incorporating a descriptive well-being dimension into quantitative investigations can enhance our understanding of such environments, offering a promising avenue for optimizing residents’ overall well-being.  \nSESSION 3200 (PAPER)   \nCARE, CONTEXT, AND COMMUNICATION IN  \nDEMENTIA: INSIGHTS INTO EQUITY, DESIGN, AND  \nLIVED EXPERIENCE  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.1318  \nBUILT ENVIRONMENTS AND DEMENTIA CARE:  \nARCHITECTURAL LAYOUTS AS DETERMINANTS OF  \nRESIDENT WELL-BEING  \nYifat Rom1, Ido Morag2, Yuval Palgi1, and Michal Isaacson1, 1.

This study, therefore, examined correlations between the architectural layout of seven dementia units and their residents’ well-being. Physical well-being was measured in terms of comfort and stimulation, while social well-being was measured in terms of status, behavioral confirmation, and affection. The residents’ verbal and physical agitated behaviors were also observed and documented. Diverse correlations were found between the five well-being dimensions and agitated behaviors.  \nNegative correlations were seen between layouts that support residents’ physical well-being, verbal agitation, and all agitated","cbCaipbXQpTuL6cR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipbXQpTuL6cR","pdf",391574,"English","# Care, Context, and Communication in Dementia: Insights into Equity, Design, and Lived Experience\n## Built Environments and Dementia Care: Architectural Layouts as Determinants of Resident Well-Being\n## Study design and measures (comfort, stimulation, social well-being)\n## Observations of agitated behaviors\n## Key correlation findings","[{\"question\":\"How many dementia units were included in the study, and what was the main objective?\",\"answer\":\"The study examined seven dementia units to determine how their architectural layouts relate to residents’ well-being.\"},{\"question\":\"What dimensions of well-being were measured?\",\"answer\":\"Physical well-being was measured using comfort and stimulation.
