Best room
The south-west room is traditionally recommended for elders, as it gives stability, authority and respect. The west and south are also good. Ground-floor rooms are practical for easy movement.
Arrangement
- Bed with the head towards the south or east.
- A comfortable chair facing north or east for reading and prayer.
- A small prayer corner in the north-east of the room.
- Good lighting, non-slip floors and support rails in the bathroom.
Colours and décor
Light, warm colours like cream, beige and light yellow create a calm, cheerful feeling. Family photos on the south-west wall strengthen bonds.
Care
Keep the room clean, airy and near the family's common areas, so elders feel included and loved.
