What about in long-term care and retirement homes \u2013 places that are designed to have communal and open spaces?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood design can and should balance infection prevention and control needs with residents\u2019 quality of life and care needs. No resident wants to see their living space transform from the feeling of home to hospital,\u201d wrote Hsu and Trudel in a recent piece on designing the future of long-term care and retirement homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Environmental design could be impeding health care workers from safely completing their tasks. The team will be studying how to address the problem of workers being both cautious and efficient, while respecting the comfort and homeliness of the spaces. The study\u2019s first phase will aim to create design and infection prevention plans for participating homes to prevent future respiratory or COVID-19 outbreaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project Lead:<\/strong>&nbsp;Chantal Trudel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Funding Partner:<\/strong>&nbsp;Foundation for Health Environments Research<\/p>\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    \n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white cu-section--cards ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\" data-attributes=\"&#x7B;&quot;numberOfPosts&quot;&#x3A;12,&quot;showImages&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;moreButton&quot;&#x3A;&quot;loadmore&quot;,&quot;blockType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;cards&quot;,&quot;contentType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;post&quot;,&quot;currentPage&quot;&#x3A;1,&quot;blockBackground&quot;&#x3A;&quot;white&quot;,&quot;numberOfColumns&quot;&#x3A;3,&quot;showDates&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showTimeToRead&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showExcerpts&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showFilter&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;taxName&quot;&#x3A;&quot;category&quot;,&quot;categories&quot;&#x3A;&quot;85&quot;,&quot;tags&quot;&#x3A;&quot;&quot;&#x7D;\" data-page=\"2\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                \n                \n        <div class=\"cu-loading hidden text-center mx-auto h-6 w-6 animate-spin rounded-full border-4 border-solid border-current border-r-transparent align-[-0.125em] motion-reduce:animate-[spin_1.5s_linear_infinite]\" role=\"status\">\n    <span class=\"!absolute !-m-px !h-px !w-px !overflow-hidden !whitespace-nowrap !border-0 !p-0 ![clip:rect(0,0,0,0)]\">\n        Loading&#8230;\n    <\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n                                        \n        <p class=\"cu-no-posts hidden\">\n            No\n            category\n\n            posts are available.\n        <\/p>\n\n                <div class=\"cu-column cu-component not-contained mx-auto grid max-w-5xl md:grid-cols-3 gap-6 md:gap-10\">\n                        \n                    \n\n<div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-xl flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100 group duration-300 ease-in hover:scale-[1.02] hover:shadow-cu-black-200\">\n\n    \n    \n        <header class=\"flex flex-col gap-3  px-6 first:mt-6\">\n        <div class=\"flex flex-row w-full gap-1\">\n                        <time datetime=\"2022-12-12T19:00:00-05:00\" class=\"block italic text-sm text-cu-black-600\">\n        December 13, 2022\n    <\/time>\n\n                    <\/div>        \n        \n    \n    <h2 class=\"line-clamp-3 text-lg font-semibold text-cu-black @sm:md:text-xl leading-6 @sm:md:leading-8\">\n        L.
