While it is clear that homes for the aged should be planning to according to their traits, but it is probably considered that the traits subject to the fact of gradually declinning with their years. Then in this report, an analysis has been made to actual facts of the declination, and relative architectural planning methods have been considered. Summarily to say, almost physical abilities of the aged have been reduced to apporoximately half abilities to compare with healthy general adults. Therefore it is necessary to particular designs, beginning from fundamental planning to end to small details, that have been defferenced from general cases. For example, because of stiffened joint and lack of balance most old people have difficulty both in stepping into the bath and in getting up if they sit down in it. Some like a sitz-bath, but this must be either sunk into the floor by a slope with handrails or fitted with a step or platform to enable the user to get in. And also they are growing difficult to walk free without a wheelchair or handrails, it should be designed by the wheelchair's standerd and to lay out handrailfs. Specially, about the patient who needs the nursing, there are many difficult problem on nursing system and architectural planning.
