| Annotation | A book which brings together 26 case studies of aged care environments from Australia, Japan, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, the UK and the United States. The intention is to illustrate that the physical environment and the idea of belonging are integral to care that is offered, as much as the design of the buildings. The UK schemes are: Belong Atherton, Wigan, Greater Manchester; Heald Farm Court, Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside; Sandford Station, Winscombe, North Somerset; and The Brook, Coleraine, Northern Ireland.
