These two pictures are the layout I have sketched for the elderly’s room using google- sketch-up. The room’s layout is elderly-friendly because there are railings and the floor are rough so that there are friction and the elderly will not easily fall. The bed is quite low and there is no bed stand. It will be easier for the elderly to rest without having to climb up. There is also a sofa that is low in height so it is easier for the elderly to sit. Besides the low sofa and bed, there is a red colour button for emergency. So if there is emergency is the room, the elderly will just have to press the button and it will alert the people outside the room. There are railings across the whole room so if the elderly has a weak legs, she/he can have the comfort to hold the railings. The toilet is also unique. There are ramp and a railings,for easy use as the toilet are a step lower than the room. Overall, I think the room is quite elderly-friendly.
