Description
BackgroundAge-friendly environments are increasingly recognised as essential for supporting participation, autonomy, and healthy ageing. In residential care facilities (RCFs) for older adults, the built environment interacts with organisational practices to shape opportunities for person-centred care and rehabilitation. However, limited knowledge exists regarding how architectural configurations influence access to immediate outdoor environments.
