Clinical organization and processes in nursing homes are transitioning from hospital-inspired models to more residential, patient-centered models that integrate physical layout and design. The main components of integrated processes include overarching human factors and clinical and socio-residential services. Outcomes of integrated processes include a total living environment where residents' physical, mental, social, and spiritual needs are met. Modern architectural features in nursing homes aim to create a more homelike setting through designs like small private rooms, clusters, and safety features that promote independence and quality of life.
