Öldrunarheimili í Hollandi
Við skipulagningu herbergja var dvalardeild íbúa með
minnstu hjúkrunarþörf í eins manns herbergjum látin
tengjast þeirri deild sem var með mesta hjúkrunar-
þörf, þ.e. fjögurra manna herbergjum fyrir rúmliggj-
andi íbúa. Þannig eru deildír 1 og 6, 2 og 5, 3 og 4
tengdar saman þannig að vinnuálagið á hverri deild-
arvakt er svipað. Á næturvakt er ein hjúkrunar-
kona/maður fyrir tvær deildir og einn hjálparmaður
sem ekki er deildarbundinn.
Fyrir liggja hugmyndir um betrí nýtingu sjúkraliðs og
er betri nýting gólfflatar og rýmis metin af starfsfólki.
Allar deildir hafa eigin sérkenni, lit og blæ. Allir garð-
ar eru útfærðir á mismunandi hátt með eigið þema,
mismunandi lýsingu og innréttingar.
Þar sem nauðsynlegt er er hægt að taka tillit til breytilegra óska þótt dagleg starfsemi sé í höfuðdráttum bund-
in með flatarteikningu. Að skipta um nafnspjald er ódýrasta aðlögunin.
Góð loftræsting er mikilvæg. Engin loftkæling er í húsinu en sólarskyggni fyrir gluggum og eru þung bygging-
arefni notuð. T.d. tréspónasteypa í loft. Rakaendurvinnsla og rakaúðun er á vetrum. Of þurrt loft veldur kláða
hjá mörgu öldruðu fólki. Tæknilega séð eru þessar þrískiptu dvalardeildir og dagdeild þjónustaðar með fjórum
raka-, loftræsti- og hitunarkerfum sem geta verið hlutfallslega lítil og ódýr og standa í klefum uppi á þaki. Frá
þeim er hvorki loftsuð né loftsúgur og er andrúmsloftið gott allan ársins hring. ■
Homes for the Elderly in
Holland
A low building housing 90 inhabitants for the mental institutions Brinkgreven in Deventer, and St. Joseph in
Apeldoorn.
The atmosphere in homes for the elderly is often uncomfortable for guests and probably also for the inhabi-
tants. During the years 1983-1987, when the two homes for the elderly were designed and built using the
same drawing, it was common in Holland to build closed wards for 15 inhabitants. Then it was not uncom-
mon to see the inhabitants touching the front door, trying to get out.
The floor area allowed by the Ministry of Health for such a ward was too small for people to move around to
any extent and the nursing staff hardly had any connection with their colleagues outside their own ward.
There was only one psychiatric nurse per nightshift for 15 patients.
Although these homes are built according to the same plan, the situation of its inhabitants are very different.
Those living in Brinkgreven are aged, mentally disturbed and have little connection to their families. In St.
Joseph live mentally disturbed, old people, visited by their children and grandchildren. After having been in
use for 20 years, both these homes are now being rebuilt according to new Dutch regulations. Each inhabi-
tant has now the right to his own room with a private bathroom with a sink, shower and a toilet.
The accompanying drawing shows two L-shaped wards, mirrored, for two times 15 inhabitants. The wards
have medical staff and cooking facilities in common. The six wards have a common patio and three nursing
shifts. Each nursing shift looks after four corridors. The inhabitants can walk freely indoors and in enclosed
gardens. Others have more freedom. Most people walk around the central courtyard, both to use up energy
