    Abstract
    Background: Upon the onset of a debilitating rapidly evolving condition (such as cancer or a rapidly progressing myopathy, neuropathy, respiratory disease, or a severe traumatic injury), individuals have limited time to find a new home or make radical structural modifications in their residence. How the affected patients can continue sharing the same house with their families, while meeting their own special requirements, is thus rising as a critical issue. Household and daily routine rearrangements, either temporary or permanent, may be necessary, to ameliorate the life of patients with impairments, lasting for months or even years. Objectives: Interior design may provide a highly efficient "living" palliation for debilitating medical conditions directly at patients' home-site. Methods: Research of relevant literature, using keywords "debilitating conditions," "home care," "end of life care," "care of advanced cancer patients," "care of patients with mental disorders," "home care of covid-19 affected patients," and "care of patients with degenerative illnesses." Results: We found that patients and their relatives may not be aware of the probable interior design solutions to their daily life challenges, imposed by a disease-related impairment. In parallel, interior design experts may equally be unaware of these issues, as well as of who needs the available solutions.Similarly, medical and architectural sciences are not connected, eventually failing to meet patients' everyday needs. Conclusions: Interior architecture and health scientists are called to cooperate, aiming to provide a highly efficient and meaningful support to patients and families affected by unforeseen debilitating medical conditions.
