Planning living environments for the elderly is a challenge due to the variety of characteristics and the changing health status of this special population. An occupational therapist's knowledge and understanding of the ageing process, as well as the profession's philisophy of maximising health through active living can contribute to the design of retirement centres. The concepts and basic principles involved in such collaborative planning are discussed. This paper concludes with an invocation for more OTs to seek opprtunities to be involved in facility planning for the elderly.
