LIVING
SPACES

- Person-Centered Care Person-centered care creates a better experience for residents by promoting choice, purpose and meaning in daily life. We create choice by varying the types of spaces we design and furnish. Studies show that 60% of a resident’s day is focused on meal times and they are demanding quality meals in a wide range of settings.
- A More Demanding PopulationProjections show that by 2030 the over-65 population will have doubled from 35 million to 72 million compared to 2000. More senior living communities will be needed to accommodate the growing population and demand for choice will also escalate.
- Active Aging and Holistic Wellness
Design spaces that enable active aging. This includes fully engaging in life within all dimensions of wellness, including emotional, environmental, intellectual/cognitive, physical, professional/vocation, social and spiritual. There is also a growing demand for social and physical connection with people, indoor and outdoor spaces and the entire community. - Make Room for Innovation
Technological innovation is creating breakthroughs in elder care. Having spaces that can adapt to future technology innovations enables a continuum of exceptional care to residents. - Impending Labor Shortage
The Bureau of Labor projects a shortage of more than one million care providers by 2022, which could impact the ability of a community to provide the right level of care. Spaces designed with the needs of the caregiver in mind can improve both efficiency and retention.
