There’s a new wave of senior living design trends.
Today’s communities are more akin to resorts, with open floor plans, ample natural light, and accessibility features that cater to seniors’ unique needs. If you’re a senior facility manager or owner, you’re tasked with ensuring your facility remains competitive and appealing.
Here’s how 2024 is shaping up.
One standout trend is the shift towards a more home-like environment. Spaces are designed to be comfortable and inviting, encouraging residents to socialize and engage in various activities. Community spaces often include cozy reading nooks, inviting outdoor patios, and spacious common areas for socializing.
These features foster a sense of community and belonging among residents.
Another significant trend is the focus on wellness and active living. With an increasing emphasis on healthy aging, senior living communities now offer amenities such as fitness centers, walking paths, swimming pools, and even gardening areas. Fitness offerings often include classes, gyms, pools, and tennis or pickleball courts. Additionally, spa treatments and on-site movie theaters provide residents with opportunities to relax and enjoy their time.
Many facilities are fostering connections with the neighborhoods around them.
Some mixed-use senior buildings now include ground-floor coffee shops or other retail spaces open to the general public.
Today’s seniors want to stay connected to their communities not just physically but digitally, too.
Senior care organizations are upgrading their network infrastructure and virtual reality offerings, and even hiring tech concierges to answer residents’ tech questions.
