Results: After analyzing the data and all the information collected from the user research we found the following results: * Those living in private family accommodation or are friends with their cohabitants are mostly satisfied with current communication. * Those living with strangers felt communication methods unsatisfactory and would benefit with home communication system. * Family members and friends mostly communicate verbally and informally whereas strangers use email/text messaging and more formal communication. * Family members and friends feel that a home communication system may add too much formality to household. * Accommodation with more habitants has less effective communication and feels they would benefit more from a home communication system. * Most interviewees feel that a system should provide notifications, a calendar and have a touch screen interface. * Some interviewees suggested avatars and user accounts as well as remote access to the system. * Interviewees suggested that system should be installed in communal place such as kitchen or hall way in place of a notice board, where there is a high footfall by all house members daily.

Inappropriate use of communication tools and geographical distance can be easily circumvented with modern technology. However, one physical communication barrier that is harder to avoid is noise disruptions. The world is a noisy place and sometimes noise can make it hard to understand what is being said. While often modern technology can help eliminate noise barriers, sometimes noise barriers cannot be helped. The best way to combat this issue is to acknowledge that noise barriers exist and to make sure that information is understood when that circumstance transpires.
Clear recoding systems are in place and these are monitored and evaluated on a regular basis to look at methods of improving the communication within the home. For example when I was instated as the Registered Manager I introduced a message log, this is to pass information form team to team or from management to the whole team. This has proven effective and successful.

Communication is the third dimension and is not depicted on the model. It is a facilitating dimension necessary for facilitating changes in the other two dimensions. This dimension is measured by listening skills, speaking skills, self-disclosure, clarity, continuity tracking and respect and regard. Balanced family systems have good communication.
People from different backgrounds may use and/or interpret communication methods in different ways because every family has their own way of communicating together. For example: some children might hear or speak more than one language at home or they could hear others swearing. This can affect children’s communication and how they communicate as adults.
Communication is an ongoing process in which individuals exchange messages whose meanings are influenced by the history of the relationship and the experiences of the participants. (Adler, p.384) Communication depends on relationships between the people who are communicating, and on common basics between them. Problems in communications between people may arise due to differences in cultures, perceptions, values, and expectations from life.
Lack of communication is the root cause for most relationships problems. Communication is the key foundation in a relationship. Without its presence or absence, it affects the physical health. When communication is deprived, we would have no sense of ourselves. Communication enables us to survive and it has a major impact on all relationships.
