Assessing the Physical and Architectural Features of Sheltered Care Settings.

Moos, Rudolf H.; Lemke, Sonne

Journal of Gerontology, v35 n4 p571-83 Jul 1980

The Physical and Architectural Features Checklist (PAF) measures physical resources of sheltered care settings in terms of nine derived dimensions. Data show that facilities which have more physical resources are seen as attractive by outside observers and pleasant by residents. Cost is not related to any PAF dimension. (Author)
