Samenvatting

In order to support aging in place, Dutch elderly that cannot live at home any longer are housed in Assisted Living Facilities (ALF’s). Here they live as independently as possible and can rely on care and services 24 hours a day. Nowadays the intended home-like atmosphere is threatened by the increasing number of inhabitants needing high levels of care. Initiators have to cope with this issue and have to decide on the most desirable scale of ALFs and the optimal mix of different user groups and facilities. The Assisted Living Atlas shows a huge number of different projects in a standard way, in order to help decision makers to be aware of different solutions and to find best practices.
