Brennan, Penny L.; And Others

Gerontologist, v28 n1 p84-90 Feb 1988

Examined preferences for physical design characteristics of group living facilities of 229 congregate apartment residents, 205 older community residents, and 44 experts. Found that older groups of subjects had similar physical design preferences, whereas experts preferred more physical features than did older adults. (Author/NB)
