Outdoor Spaces

Pioneer Network is proud to offer Creating Home – Access to Nature, a three-part webinar series that investigates outdoor environmental design and green spaces to benefit older adults. The webinars will take place on three Tuesdays in March -- the 2nd, 9th and 16th from 1:00pm to 2:00 p.m. EST.

Pioneer Network's Creating Home -- Access to Nature Webinar Series will demonstrate the importance of having people, policies, and programs that support outdoor usage. The series will also explore current research findings in gerontology, psychology and design, as well as comments from residents themselves, providing eldercare professionals with cost-effective guidelines for creating outdoor spaces seniors will use.

The webinar series will also help attendees to avoid pitfalls, such as "invisible" barriers, which prevent easy access to outdoor features. Led by Susan Rodiek, Ph.D., the Creating Home – Access to Nature Webinar Series will also examine outdoor access in terms of the revised interpretive guidelines for quality of life in nursing homes, and discuss F-Tags that relate to outdoor access and utilization.
