Description

This Spatial Provision Guidelines for elderly and disability facilities is the first guidebook
by the Ministry of Social and Family Development aimed at improving the quality of care for the elderly and the disabled in Singapore. The guidebook aims to provide direction to stakeholders in the building and related industries who want to understand some of the requirements for elderly and disability facilities. It covers design considerations for basic functional areas such as the administration area, activity and dining area, dormitory area, utility zone, medical centre and car park. It attempts to include as much as possible, the space requirements, ergonomics and safety considerations for social community facilities. Photographs and diagrams are added to provide illustrations of the different subject matter.
