Therapeutic Use of Outdoor Spaces and Plant Materials
In long‐term care, where chronic conditions are more common, benefits appear to be profound with the physically and cognitively frail. Exercise can have positive physical benefits such as strengthening agility, gait, and posture. It can help reduce the losses in bone density and muscle mass, which result from sedentary behavior. Spending time outside can improve mood and lessen agitation and aggression. Dementia robs the individual of memory, learning, judgment, and the ability to fully understand what is happening to them. Plant choices should embrace differences in height, color, texture, fragrance, and touch. The outdoor landscape should be a retreat as well as a place for families to celebrate a birthday, holiday, or anniversary. One of the most interesting and popular building forms in northern Europe is atrium‐style purpose‐built housing for older people. In general, plant materials are used to create a relaxed milieu and to introduce the psychological and therapeutic benefits.
