Overview of one nursing home including the division of life-space into four hierarchical zones. Hierarchical zones are delineated as concentric circles as defined by Tinetti & Ginter (1990). Black dots indicate positions of wireless receivers of the measurement system, encasing the whole building; Zone 1 (green) stands for the private room; Zone 2 (blue) stands for the whole living unit in which the private room is located; Zone 3 (orange) stands for the public area outside the living unit but within the facility; Zone 4 (red) delineates the whole area outside the facility. Arrows point out passages between zones. Zone 1 (exemplary private room) is bordered with a black frame. The dining area within Zone 2 is marked with a “D” and bordered with another black frame
