UNIVERSAL DESIGN

Universal Design should be an integral part of all aspects of design –

Architecture, Urban Design, Transport Infrastructure, & Product Design.

Brian Kidd (AM, LFRAIA) – Lecturer and researcher – Melbourne

University:

“More than merely facilitating appropriate and efficient care, Architecture

is fundamental to achieving maximum liberty and empowerment of

people living with dementia…The promise of an architecture of

Enablement”

A Disabled-Friendly MalaysiaBruce Bromley – Equal Access Consultants, February 19, 2010

MALAYSIA passed the Persons with Disabilities Act (PWDA) in 2008 as part of its

obligations under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN

Convention). According to the PWDA, those persons with disabilities shall have equal

access to the following in Malaysia:

• public facilities, amenities, services and buildings;

• public transport;

• education;

• employment;

• information, communication and technology;

• cultural life;

• recreation, leisure and sport.

Malaysia also amended the Uniform Building Bylaws

in 1990, making it compulsory for buildings to provide

Access and facilities for disabled persons.

Existing buildings were given three years to

make modifications to comply with the bylaw.

PART 2: SENIORS LIVING

KEY CONCEPTS

• SOCIAL INTERACTION

• PHYSICAL SECURITY

• HEALTHY AGEING & WELLNESS

• LIFESTYLE SUPPORT

• AFFORDABILITY

ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS FOR THE ELDERLY

• EXTENDED FAMILY VS NUCLEAR FAMILY

• MULTIGENERATIONAL LIVING

• INDEPENDENT LIVING + HOMECARE SERVICES

• RETIREMENT LIVING

• ASSISTED LIVING

• AGED CARE

EXTENDED FAMILY OPTIONS

• Most people prefer to stay in their own homes (But does the home allow

this? Universal Design would facilitate this option!)

• Multi-generational living - Maintain the family home - Children and their

Families stay on (if the home is large enough!)

• Home care services can be delivered if required

• The elderly can still feel & be useful within the family and benefit from

stimulating interaction with family

• Isolation can be a problem if the elderly are left alone for large parts of the

day

• Assisted living and nursing care support is not be available from

untrained live-in housekeepers but trained housekeeper / carers is an

emerging option (versus a live-in nurse which is expensive)

INDEPENDENT & ASSISTED LIVING OPTIONS –

HOMECARE SERVICES

• AUSTRALIA - Local councils arrange care services for

qualifying seniors as well as the disabled under the new

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

• Similar Outreach Care Services are becoming available in

major cities in Malaysia.

RETIREMENT VILLAGES vs AGED CARE

RETIREMENT VILLAGES

These have been hugely popular in the USA and Australia.

Traditionally they have attracted the baby-boomer generation aged 55 to

75 who are still able to live independently and enjoy the facilities.

Retirement villages are a matter of CHOICE.

Not INTENDED for the elderly who are already in advanced age or

require assistance with daily living.

Retirement Villages have yet to take off in Malaysia.

Pilot projects exist – Eden-on-the-Park, Kuching & Green Acres, Ipoh.

RETRIEMENT VILLAGES vs AGED CARE

AGED CARE

Aged Care living is not a matter of CHOICE, but usually of NECESSITY.

Aged Care provides continuous care for residents requiring significant

assistance with daily living and activities.

Dementia Care is a rapidly growing category of Assisted Living.

Sheltered Homes, usually charitable or clan society based, cater for a

small number of residents who are mainly able to live unassisted but

are not classified as nursing homes.

QUALITY AGED CARE DEVELOPMENT HAS NOW TAKEN OFF IN

MALAYSIA DUE TO NEED AND A LACK OF APPROPRIATE FACILITIES.

Island, Shavitanee Atoll, Maldives. A 5 star resort with

100 luxury rooms with water villas, beach villas,

several dining and entertainment outlets, a fully

DESA PARK CITY

“KL'S MOST LIVABLE COMMUNITYIn 1999, ParkCity acquired the 473-acre Desa ParkCity site. From a barren quarry mine,

the site has become the cradle of one of Malaysia’s top selling communities. Today, the

multiple award-winning master-plan of Desa ParkCity is regarded by many as

innovative, imaginative and successful model for a lively, safe, sustainable and healthy

community. “

“The unprecedented demand for high quality, ‘ageing-in-place’ services

in the Melbourne inner-city area is behind the refurbishment at Coppin

Centre.

Level 3 at Coppin Centre now features 18 residential aged care suites,

providing options for residents to live in apartment-style rooms.

Each suite is well appointed with a kitchenette and lounge area, many with

captivating city skyline views.

A communal formal lounge, dining rooms and library spaces will take full

advantage of the inner-city location with stunning views, while giving residents

the opportunity to engage with others or pursue their interests.

The refurbishment offers individuals or couples the ability to transition into

residential care with hotel-style amenities and services.”

Veritas Architects Australia in

collaboration with Freemasons

Homes designed the Coppin

Suites to create a hybrid

assisted living model of

accommodation which

provides full aged care

support in an independent

living environment.

STREETON PARK – LUXURY RETIREMENT APARTMENTSHEIDLEBERG, MELBOURNE

EXCERPT FROM THE STREETON PARK WEBSITE –

Welcome to Streeton Park, a stunning new premium development set on the banks of the iconic

Yarra River.

From the heart of Melbourne's city centre, head east along the banks of the Yarra. As the river's

twists and turns fall behind you, the buildings and houses slowly fade away. In their place,

stunning native parkland, peace, tranquillity and natural beauty will take your breath away. Here,

nestled on the banks of river you will find Streeton Park, a stunning retirement development

from Royal Freemasons.

With the city skyline on the near horizon, this iconic setting is close to Heide, the site of the

famous Heidelberg School of painters. Here you will find your own masterpiece of idyllic

retirement living at Streeton Park, our Heidelberg development located on the banks of the

Yarra river.

Stylish, spacious and with an exceptional level of quality, Streeton Park's apartments are

certainly worthy of their extraordinary location. A contemporary design uses natural stone, while

large, sweeping glass windows allow swathes of natural light to seep into your new home.

Choose between a selection of one and two bedroom apartments, all featuring a convenient

'flexi room', which can be used to create an additional bedroom, study or television room.

Streeton Park features a number of impressive shared spaces where you can enjoy the

retirement lifestyle you deserve. The ground floor is home to an expansive lounge area

complete with quality furnishings and open fireplace, resident dining room, a media room, sports

bar and Wellness Centre.
