Description

<p>This study aims to classify Group Homes (GHs) across Japan based on resident disability characteristics and explore how design can better support people with severe disabilities and staff members. A questionnaire was sent to all GHs in Japan to collect data on resident characteristics and building features. As a result, GHs in Japan fall into four groups, catering to residents with (1) Mild mental disabilities, (2) Mild intellectual disabilities, (3) Severe intellectual disabilities and (4) Severe physical disabilities. Comparing these groups reveals that GHs in (3) and (4) have significantly more design elements addressing resident disabilities than the other groups.</p>
