AnnotationResidential or nursing homes with space problems, or indeed any home seeking to provide residents with a more spacious environment, should consider whether small sized rooms will continue to attract new residents. The author suggests ways in which homes can give residents - even those in small rooms - a sense of spaciousness. Use of communal space (for example sitting and dining rooms, gardens and conservatories) should be a way of compensating for small sized individual rooms. The author offers a checklist. (RH).
