Abstract
Due to the growing older population in Malaysia, elderly houses are valuable assets. Therefore, Malaysian senior homes should comply with the MS 1184:2014 universal design and accessibility in the built environment guidelines to ensure the elderly's right to safety and comfort in that old residence. However, violating act guidelines will make this situation global. This study examined the sorts of safety and health in building design in senior houses that can constitute a significant risk and compared them to MS 1184:2014 for the elderly. This study used qualitative methods and used the Malaysia Standard 1184:2014 Universal Design checklist for the three chosen case studies for observation. Using the checklist, the researcher sorted the data into three sections: space standard, door and access, fitting, switch, and socket outlet. In the final step of the study process, the researcher will present a total score box to compute the findings before moving on to the conclusion.
