The design maximizes potential for residents to enjoy the outdoors in safety and comfort and features level curvilinear walks with handrails and strategically located benches. Visual wayfinding cues support residents with advanced Alzheimer’s Disease in walking outdoors. Non-toxic plantings soften building edges and contribute a beneficial exposure to nature. Features such as the landmark garden trellis and therapeutic gardening tables create gathering spaces and are settings for program activities.
