This article is based on the authors observations of his father who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at age 91. He looks at the provisions in his father's room at a multi-level geriatric care campus in Buffalo. He describes in detail how his room both supported and hindered his independence. The design of the room followed many of the principles found in the literature. Barriers to independence included heater and airconditioner, radio and television, call system and the shower seat. Excellent article for caregivers and designers.
