For that reason, a case study was made to examine current nursing home spaces. In themethodology part, an extensive analysis of the bedroom spaces of the nursing home in Brussels, where Senior Assist Nursing Homesis located, is analyzed. They are discussed by their spatial features such as spatial organization, sustainable and correct use offurnitures, materials and equipments, etc. according to the regulations. As a result of the analyzes, an evaluation table was created.The evaluation table includes the spatial standards of bedroom spaces of nursing homes in Brussels. According to these criterias, thecase is examined and evaluated by their adequacies with the regulation and elderly needs. Also the methodology includes the use ofphotos of bedroom spaces taken from the personal of institution of chosen nursing home. In the research process of the nursing homeswhich are spatially arranged within the framework of the regulations, and standards will be discussed and evaluated within the scopeof human well-being and sustainability especially elderly. Accordingly, considering the application of standards in elderly nursinghomes, there will be an evaluation of how much of these standards are applied in reality and are they suitable and enough for elderlyneeds through example.
