This study is to realize the importance of the healing-environment of Geriatric Hospital for elderly people; to comparatively analyze the healing-environment elements of the facilities in Gwangju-Jeonnam region by classifying the healing-environment elements according to two aspects on the basis of preceding studies. I focused on a comparison evaluation tool between Health Insurance Review & Assesment Service's Tool and Assessment Procedure for Therapeutic Environment With Dementia(WADT), thereby healing indicators being combined with a physical environment, and the two sides being able to be measured and judged together, for the
environment to be improved into one for healing.
Focusing on this, I evaluated each nursing facilities with an architecturally approached healing environment, in which elderly people with dementia live and recover or maintain their health, in Gwangju-Jeonnam region using the developed tool.
