title: Living environments and older people.
abstract: The influence of care environments on patients has long been a fundamental concern for nurses. Considerations of how environments might be defined, particularly how multiple aspects of environments might impact on any individual, are complex. This article aims to unpick some of the complexities and to offer ideas on how nurses can positively influence environments, particularly in settings where older people live and are offered care.
