South Korea’s rapid aging necessitates improving long-term care (LTC) quality, especially in Congregate NursingHomes for the Elderly (CNHs). Intended as small-scale (5-9 residents) alternatives providing "homelike" environments, KoreanCNHs often function as minimalist institutions lacking privacy and autonomy, limiting their Aging in Place (AIP) potential. Thisstudy analyzes Nordic group home architectural principles, where the "homelike" concept originated, aiming to proposequalitative improvements for Korean CNHs. The methodology includes analyzing Korean CNH status/problems; tracing thehomelike concept’s historical development in Sweden through competitions and theory; deriving design principles from Nordiccase studies (Sweden, Denmark, Finland); and comparatively evaluating Korean and Nordic models for AIP support. Resultsreveal a stark contrast. Nordic group homes successfully create homelike environments through established principles like smallclusters, private single rooms with adequate amenities, functional common areas, nature integration, and resident autonomy.
Conversely, Korean CNHs typically feature multi-person rooms, insufficient space/privacy, poor common areas, and institutionalpractices, severely compromising this homelike quality and hindering effective AIP support despite their small scale. Thisresearch significantly contributes by identifying the gap between Korean CNHs' potential and reality regarding residential quality.
Analyzing the multi-dimensional homelike concept from Nordic models (including dignity, autonomy, social ties) and linking itsabsence to AIP limitations in Korea provides a vital framework and concrete benchmarks for improvement. Therefore, realizingthe AIP potential of Korean CNHs necessitates improvements focusing on architectural standards (e.g., single rooms, adequatespace, functional common/outdoor areas) and resident-centered operations. Adopting Nordic homelike principles is essential toovercome current institutional limitations and foster supportive living environments within these facilities. |
