Single-User License: FGI 2014 Guidelines for Design and Construction of Residential Health, Care, and Support Facilities

This edition features the first standalone document for residential care facilities. The 2014 Guidelines for Design and Construction of Residential Health, Care, and Support Facilities offers guidance for nursing homes, hospice facilities, assisted living facilities, independent living settings, adult day care and adult day health care facilities, wellness centers, and outpatient rehabilitation therapy facilities. The requirements and recommendations presented move away from institutional models and foster development of facilities that offer person-centered living environments intended to provide quality of life for residents. New material includes a resident safety risk assessment; design criteria for serving individuals with dementia, mental health issues, and cognitive and developmental disabilities.

This document includes the 2013 edition of ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170: Ventilation of Health Care Facilities—including all issued addenda—with the exception of Section 4.1 (Compliance) and Section 4.2 (Administrative Requirements).
