Abstract
To support resilience in long-term dementia care, environmental design changes have been proposed that focus on small-scale and home care. This chapter presents examples from two countries: the Netherlands and the United States. It describes various types of small-scale, homelike nursing home settings, including green care farms. Care models and physical environment are explained and recent evidence is presented on effects for residents, family caregivers and nursing staff. It concludes with some general implications for further research, practice and policy development.
