Schedules and routines are dictated by the facility. Surroundings are drab and uninviting. Individual's input is sought and some preferences are applied. Environment in common areas is more inviting. Individual is offered more choices, often including when to wake, eat and bathe. Surroundings are more like home. Individual determines own schedules, activities, meals and caregivers.
