Abstract
To adequately plan a facility it is necessary to understand and properly program for the needs of the individuals to be served. A great deal of confusion exists in the minds of most prospective sponsors or builders as to the type of facility being contemplated. Terms such as "homes for the aged," "retirement homes," "geriatrics homes," "nursing homes," and "Custodial homes" are generally used with no clear conception as to the exact program involved. The most popular conception is a facility that will provide social housing for the aged, able-bodied individual. This facility would provide room, board, maid service, laundry and other such minimum personal services that are necessary. Little or no thought is generally given to facilities for the proper care of the ill or infirm.
