Design for Flexibility: New Looks, New Footprints

Recorded Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern)

Can we expect a “sea change” in senior living design in the near term? Some architects and interior designers believe that’s exactly the case. Universal design, state-of-the-art technology, “green” features — even a hospitality-style approach — are already making a pronounced impact on senior living design. Older, traditional CCRCs will at least need to retrofit their communities to bring them in line with evolving market imperatives. Our panel of design experts will discuss visionary concepts, flexible ideas, practical implementation approaches — and, perhaps most importantly, what the next generation of residents really want.

This educational offering has been approved for 1.50 clock hours by the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB).
