Abstract
The center provides comprehensive care to patients with various mental health conditions, including mental retardation and disorders. Patients receive accommodation, personal care, health care, and clinical care. The center currently serves 205 male and female patients between the ages of 16 and 36. The center employs a staff of 95-110 employees, with 60-70 employees working during the day shift and 35-45 employees working during the night shift. A typical day for a patient at the center involves a structured routine that includes various activities and therapies designed to promote recovery and rehabilitation. The center's staff works closely with patients to develop individualized treatment plans that cater to their unique needs and goals. The methodology used at the Jerash Rehabilitation Center involves a comprehensive approach that includes data collection through field visits, interviews, observations, and photo documentation. The center also conducts case studies and analyzes international design standards to inform its design and operational decisions. The analysis of the current situation at the center involves an evaluation of the architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical systems to identify areas for improvement. The center's design and operational principles are guided by a recovery-oriented approach that prioritizes patient-centered care, rehabilitation, and community reintegration. The therapeutic environment is designed to be welcoming, safe, and secure, with features such as home-like settings, visual and physical access to nature, and patient autonomy and respect. The center also prioritizes the integration and coordination of care services, promoting collaboration among care providers and the use of technologies to promote continuity of care. The Jerash Rehabilitation Center's design principles emphasize the importance of creating a non-institutional image and a welcoming environment that promotes psychological well-being and recovery. The center's goal is to provide a supportive and therapeutic environment that enables patients to achieve their full potential and reintegrate into their communities.
