Senior Community Development, SE US, Florida, Georgia, North & South Carolina

Senior living is being redefined by the aging baby boomers. This generation is growing faster than ever. In fact, the population of those over the age of 65 in the U. S. reached over 51 million for the very first time. By the year 2050 it is expected to increase to over 71 million!

According to a recent survey in Building Design & Construction, “Multifamily housing and senior living developments head the list of the hottest sectors heading into 2018.”

Senior communities are more popular than ever, but today’s design and construction must anticipate the newest trends to stay ahead of the market. This dynamic and evolving industry needs to include thoughtfully planned out multi purpose spaces, high level care, amenities, and customer service.

Multi Purpose Spaces for Senior Care

Building a strong community is important, providing areas for a coffee bistro, host community events, as well as yoga and fitness classes. Ensuring sustainability by being able to incorporate tomorrows amenities.

Maximizing Versatility

Designing areas that are flexible. For example, a space can be easily transitioned from a theater to dining room, need to take into account acoustics, lighting, and flooring.

High Level of Security

Security should always be a high priority. Ensuring a sense of community while designing multiple layers of security. Especially for Alzheimers and memory care units.

Promoting a Safe and Healthy Design

Today’s senior are looking for a resort/hospitality feel throughout the community housing, including their common and dining areas. Research shows elements that resonate with seniors include high ceilings, large windows, intimate seating areas, and fireplaces.

Lighting can help reduce confusion and give visual cues for those suffering from dementia. Flooring that can help reduce noise and mitigate falls, non-toxic materials for higher air quality, and sustainable materials to support health and well being.

Breaking down barriers and stigma of senior living environments can be a big hurdle. Creating a senior housing that is a component of a greater environment. Bringing in the community with festivals, farmers market, yoga classes, artisan food venues, wine tasting, and speciality shops to attract people of all ages and bring in revenue for the owner.
