There has been a huge increment in the number of elderly care centre from 1983 to 2001. Thus, the establishment of a care centre for the elderly is seen only to fill up and meet the current demand. Sim (2002)

The elderly care centre establishments in Malaysia normally they were built in gated complexes or rented the existing shop lots and residential building. Sanmargaraja et al. (2013)

The elderly often feel discontent with the standard of treatment, the lack of purpose and sense of belonging in life as a result of institutional policy, the rigidity of general routine and the living arrangement. Berglund (2007)

This situation not only have a negative influence on the well-being of the elderly, but it can even lead to isolation and loneliness feeling. Jamaiyah et al. (2006)

Issues

Most of the elderly care centre was adapted from existing residential and shop lot building which not suitable to be implemented. In result, the elderly will stay in dormitory living arrangement due to limited space. This arrangement may affect elderly discomfort and lack of social interaction.

There are no proper space and other options for the elderly to have social interaction and activity with the resident. Since the institution is using the existing residential building and turn it to suit the care centre layout which may affect elderly well-being.

The elderly feel that they are no longer needed in society. In an individualistic industrial society, caring for an elderly is seen as a voluntary obligation that may be ignored without fear of social censure.

Design Aim To propose the elderly care center which providing a spaces and program that able to increase the elderly well-being and social interaction.

1/20 of the elderly (60 years) had early stage of dementia (forgetfulness). This condition will cause the spoken word to be vague, act abnormally and behave like a child. Rosfazila (2019)

•

Need fully assistance at all times

•

The corridor should be design in ‘endless corridor”. The elderly will feel less-frustrated as they have several choices rather than dead-end corridor. The implementation of bright colour, big signage and prominent elements as landmark may help the elderly as wayfinding navigational to find each spaces. To avoid reflective material and colour, it can cause discomfort to the elderly. Bryant (1991)

•

For activity spaces, it should have a direct visual access, to encourage the sociality because the activities become highly visible. Calkins (1988)
