Day care for persons with dementia: the impact of the physical environment on staff stress and quality of care

KA Lyman

This study considers the impact of the physical environment on work- related stress and quality of care in a day care center that integrates demented people and other frail elderly persons. The researcher examined positive and negative differences before and after the program moved to a new, improved facility. Implications for facility design and other program characteristics are discussed.
