• W232303097 abstract "Two and a half years of collaboration have taught Human Ecology students and the directors of Journeys in New York City a lot about how to create innovative environments for people with special needs. The keys are time, thought, teamwork, and the willingness to listen to and learn from everyone involved. Joe Duggan knows intimately the issues involved in providing long-term care for people with degenerative illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease. After two and half years of working with students in the College of Human Ecology, he also knows a lot about how the creative energies of diverse groups of people can be harnessed to create better environments for the care not only of people with Alzheimer's but any group of people with special needs. Duggan got his education the hard way. In the mid-1980s his father and mother were diagnosed within a year of each other with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, respectively. His father passed away in 1990 and his mother in 1995. His experiences caring for them made him vividly aware of the enormous stresses caregivers undergo and the need for options in long-term care. After his mother's death, Duggan and a close friend, Eric Clay '81, created an organization to study how the care of people with Alzheimer's might be improved. In recognition of the long and often heartbreaking ordeals Alzheimer's sufferers and their caregivers must endure together, they decided to call the organization Journeys. It was the experience of caring for my mother that really planted the seeds for says Duggan, 41, a human resources manager for Price Waterhouse in New York City. I became acutely aware of the isolation people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers go through. Duggan says that 80 percent of people with Alzheimer's are cared for in the home, the majority by family members. As their dementia worsens, they require almost around-the-clock supervision. They may develop erratic sleeping habits, staying up until three or four in the morning. Common, everyday objects become threats to their physical well-being. And there is constant worry about them wandering away. As a result, the demands on their caregivers become overwhelming. These people frequently have professional responsibilities and need to go to work in the morning, Duggan points out. Their productivity suffers enormously. In one of their first projects after starting Journeys, Duggan and Clay studied the feasibility of finding and renovating a building for use as a residential care facility. They envisioned a place where people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers could live together in apartments specially designed to meet their needs and where a 24-hour respite center would be available to allow caregivers time off. Although the fiscal reality of such a project kept their vision from being realized at the time, Clay and Duggan continued to develop their ideas for a specially designed facility, and they sought the expertise of Department of Design and Analysis professors Paul Eshelman and Gary Evans. The two professors were already interested in creating collaboration between their respective courses in interior design and environmental psychology, and they jumped at the opportunity to have their students work together in the creation of new design concepts that could be used in a residential care facility for people with Alzheimer's. That year was kind of a string of accidents that came together in a neat way, says Eshelman. Shared Journeys was looking for products and environments that would facilitate caregiving. They were interested in innovation, and that's inherent in what we try to do. Eshelman and Evans presented their students with the project in the fall semester of 1995. Those in Evans's environmental psychology class were interested in the broader context of the entire life cycle and were charged with preparing design guidelines. …" @default.
