「 策扶老以流憩，时翘首而遐观 。」

—— 陶渊明《归去来兮辞》

陶渊明在晚年生命中，表达出了对ㄧ生的体会以及感悟，依然展现了对生活宁静恬适、乐天自然的意境感受。回顾人的ㄧ生，在迎接新生命的诞生总是令人喜悦而美好，但随着时间的推移，人生路上走了大半之后，无可避免的面临身体机能的逐渐退化，当已经不再能负荷日常生活时，寻求必要的帮助是必然的结果。“护理院”的功能便是如此相应的存在，在人生的下半场中，肩负着人在生理以及心理上的帮助以及陪伴。

In his later years, Tao Yuanming expressed his understanding and insights into life, still demonstrating a sense of tranquillity, contentment, and natural joy in life. Looking back on one's life, the birth of a new life is always joyful and beautiful, but as time passes, when one has walked halfway through life, it is inevitable to face the gradual decline of physical abilities. Seeking necessary assistance becomes an unavoidable outcome. The existence of a "nursing home" fulfils this need, shouldering the responsibility of providing physical and psychological support and companionship in the second half of life.

人生｜旅途上的「尊重」与「体面」

Life - Respecting and Dignified Journey

在丰沛的生命旅程中，每个人都值得被尊重且体面的对待，“护理院”乘载着相应的责任，也致力于为居住其中的人们提供一个舒适、温馨的家。不仅是需要被看护的受护者，也包含了受护者的家人，竭尽心力的护工、医师们。从入口处开放的大堂将功能区清晰区分，尊重每个到来的个体，温暖的空间消除了不安与不适。

In the extraordinary journey of life, everyone deserves to be respected and treated with dignity. The "nursing home" carries this responsibility and is dedicated to providing a comfortable and warm home for its residents. It includes not only the care recipients but also their families, as well as dedicated caregivers and physicians. It respects each individual and provides a sense of dignity accordingly. The open lobby at the entrance clearly distinguishes functional areas, respecting each individual who arrives, and the warm space eliminates uneasiness and discomfort. 

✳︎家具尺寸皆可适应轮椅使用，动线无障碍

房间的配置以个人隐私和舒适为首要考虑，在适老化的设计上，无障碍的最大化，强调适应各种便利使用的细节，“尊重”每个个体与给予相应的“体面”感。

Room configurations prioritize personal privacy and comfort, maximizing accessibility in age-friendly designs, and emphasizing details that facilitate various conveniences.

✳︎活动空间中，根据适老尺寸所设计订制的桌椅，也便利收纳与摆放，适应空间活动变化

In the activity space, tables and chairs are designed and customized based on the dimensions suitable for the elderly. They are also convenient for storage and placement, adapting to the changing needs of space activities.

护理院也是一个让居住者和他们的家人可以放缓生命时间的地方。公共空间提供社交和互动的机会，使居住者能够与其他人建立关系，分享生活的喜悦，打造出交流顺畅的开放感。

Public spaces provide opportunities for socializing and interaction, allowing residents to establish relationships with others, share the joys of life, and create a sense of open communication. A nursing home is also a place where residents and their families can slow down the passage of time. 

不论是向阳的温暖、弈棋的切磋，心灵的沉淀，在时间的流逝里面，空间随处都可以找到放缓身心的角落，怡然自得。

Whether it's the warm sunshine, engaging in chess matches, or nurturing the soul, throughout the flow of time, spaces can be found everywhere to find a corner to slow down and find inner peace and contentment.

人生各阶段皆需要身心灵的可安放，在短暂的行动不便与身体机能退化的时刻；敏感与脆弱之时，更需要安放之处。我们以大面积的暖色包覆，以温和、温暖为主调，创造出“家”的温度，打造一个舒适、安全的居住环境，安心之余才能放心休养与歇息，受护者、护工和家属皆有所“养”，皆有所“憩”，共同为提供最好的照护而努力。

At every stage of life, there is a need for a place to find physical, mental, and spiritual solace. Especially during temporary mobility difficulties or physical decline, sensitivity and vulnerability, a place of comfort is needed even more. Care recipients, caregivers, and family members find solace and relaxation, working together to provide the best care possible. We envelop the environment with warm colours on a large scale, creating a gentle and friendly atmosphere to evoke a sense of "home." We strive to create a comfortable and safe living environment where one can rest and recuperate with peace of mind.

如皋申丞护理院，作为ㄧ个“人生过渡的休憩场所”，我们以“憩”为核心打造晚年颐养安放之所，在身、心、灵上，都可以获得美好舒适的体验以及舒展，以人为本，回归宁静、质朴、本真，在安详、自主的环境中享受幸福的晚年。
