Robert Simonetti, AIA’s Insights on Innovation in Senior Living Facilities Design Published in Provider Magazine
The pandemic has highlighted the need for safer and more flexible spaces in senior living facilities. Leaders and staff of assisted living and skilled nursing facilities are now rethinking traditional design to prioritize the safety and quality of life of the elderly. It’s great to see that Upstate New York is leading the way in innovative senior living theories, with many industry leaders in the area spurring a superior culture of care. It’s important that we continue to strive for progressive design concepts to ensure that our seniors are always living in the best possible environment.

These facilities are designed to be self-contained residential environments that prioritize a warm, smart, and green atmosphere. By creating open living areas and communal dining spaces that flow from residents’ bedrooms, Green House facilities are revolutionizing the traditional model of senior living.
