INTRODUCTION The rise of baby boomers is increasingly changing the senior living landscape on a large scale. Amenities and services provided have to be of top quality to meet the resident's demand and expectation. People don't settle for less nowadays and here we look at some of the senior living design trends which caught people's attention and were highly praised.
Open and flexible designs with lots of space generated high attraction for private assisted living centers. A common room helps to organize various activities and gatherings with all the elder members of the community.
Taste and preference of seniors are changing each day as they are looking for interactive dining experiences with all other members rather than eating their meal only. High-quality hospitality services like those of restaurants with flexible dining hours, multiple places are highly appreciated by the members.
BIOPHILIC DESIGN & NATURAL COLORS
Biophilic designs are appropriate for modern assisted living facilities as they give a unique and innovative touch. Living plant walls, wooden ceiling, gives a natural look to the indoors thereby infusing positive energy among the senior members
HEALTH & WELLNESS ROOM
Yoga and fitness rooms are a must for modern senior care facilities to maintain a proper mind, body, and soul of the members. Communities are trying to meet every want and are providing fitness, yoga and wellness classes along with equipment designed for the elderly.
USE OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY
Senior citizens are more tech savvy with the growth of smartphones and tablets and so availability of modern technology in assisted living communities is of high priority. Senior care communities are trying to integrate all modern technologies like availability of Wi-Fi, keyless room entry to catch the eye of the people.
DEMAND FOR MODULAR CARPET TILES
Modular carpet tiles are introduced long ago but their demand is still strong due to ease of installation, ability to change tiles and the benefits of less wastage. Major improvements have taken place with the dye lots and patterns and are widely used by senior living communities.
Expense gets reduced with the use of LED lighting and so all modern home senior care communities are looking to install LED bulbs to lower maintenance cost and enjoy long-term cost savings. LED lighting helps to maintain body's natural circadian rhythm, which is highly beneficial for memory care residents.
