Research shows that spending even brief periods of time outside can improve health and well-being. Why is it, then, that so many outdoor areas are seldom used by older residents?  Poor design may play a large part in this problem.  The “Access to Nature for Older Adults” DVDs show that it is possible, with little increase in cost, to develop outdoor space that is inviting and usable, leading to benefits such as higher levels of physical activity, improved mood, better hormone balance, and better sleeping patterns. The Access to Nature DVD set includes free access to online interactive exercises, special readings on using outdoor space for people living with dementia, and a research-based toolkit you can use to evaluate outdoor areas at any type of setting for older people.
