Guide for age-friendly homes
OVERVIEW
This Singapore Standard provides guidance on the designs and improvements of the home environment to make the home safe and comfortable for older persons. In particular, it addresses the design and adaptation of specific areas within the home to accommodate ageing-in-place. It may also be applicable to younger people with degenerative conditions. The contents of this standard will be relevant to housing developers, architects, interior designers, renovation contractors, home owners and caregivers in creating an age-friendly living environment.
This standard is based on assumed generic conditions and should be used as a good practice guide. The recommendations in this standard will not address the specific needs of older persons with special or high dependency needs such as disabilities, dementia and chronic diseases, as they may need additional accessibility and purpose-designed functions.
