The planning and building of highly attractive and functional senior
living and age care homes require ultimate architectural and interior design
considerations today. With the increasing demand for excellent senior living
communities and age care residences, more innovative, inviting, and practical
building of this type of residence is a necessity. In addition, many seniors
are accustomed to a life enhanced by modern conveniences and automated home
design features. For this reason, they are only enthusiastic about moving to a
sophisticated, modern residence for seniors that offers many desirable features
and amenities of a contemporary, comfortable lifestyle.
Major Considerations in Architectural
and Interior Design for Senior Living and Age Care Residences
Primary considerations for designing, building and interior design services for
contemporary senior living and age care homes as recommended by top architects
and interior designers today include the following:
• Spacious Rooms with Some Small
Divisions. – Most seniors respond well when living in spacious rooms with
large windows. This enables them to enjoy the outdoor view while feeling
comfortable and at home in their attractive and enjoyable surroundings. They
also like smaller areas within their rooms that are partially separate, private
spaces where they can feel cozy and relaxed while reading, watching television,
talking on the phone or visiting with a friend.
• Attractive Communal Areas. –
Although the majority of senior residents in senior living and care residences
value the privacy afforded by their personal living units, they also desire
access to warm and welcoming communal areas where they can visit with other
residents, family members or friends while enjoying a different attractive
environment from the ones that their private rooms provide. When seniors can
easily move from one interior environment to another with easy wheelchair or
walker access, they feel as though they are living in a village or community,
which forms a strong and comforting memory connection with their former homes
and communities.
• Beautiful Outdoor and Indoor Gardens.
– When seniors can enjoy the natural beauty and elegance of lush indoor and
outdoor gardens and terraces in their ultra-modern senior living and age care
environments, it makes their lifestyles more well-rounded and complete. Even
during extreme seasonal weather and temperatures, when they can sit amidst the
pure natural beauty and allure of verdant and flowering indoor gardens, seniors
gain a stronger sense of self-worth and universal acceptance for a more
positive state of mind and general health improvements.
