In this regard, the research methods used conducted to collect field data, literatures, and empirical studies. This redesign attempt has shown how the elderly must be cared for, shape behavior of elderly and the design that still adapts to the condition of the elderly. The results confirm that the principles of Caring Environment can be more appropriate in design for the elderly.
