Know about Us
What are Lifespaces?
Lifespaces include the physical space in the individual’s home and community along with the individual’s current surroundings: which include home, community, social and psychological factors, that create a synergy among each participant. All of these things, the give and take, the push and pull, influence the individual’s life balance. Therein is the definition of Lifespace: a spatial representation of all the forces that affect a person’s behavior.
