2. Two Bed Room
Function:
This space is intended to accommodate two residents sharing a toilet room. The resident room is both an
environment for living and a major setting for care. It is typically viewed as one of several "behavior
settings" that the resident will occupy each day. It is more than a "bedroom." It provides features that
support care and routines of daily living. It is used by two residents with similar care needs.
