Building Basics for Senior Living With senior living facilities proliferating across the country, no company involved in the planning or design of new communities should overlook the essential rundown of design options offered here. Throughout their lives, baby boomers have strived to go beyond the confines of the traditional and expected. Now, as they advance towards retirement age – the leading-edge boomers begin turning sixty in less than a year – they are beginning to redefine retirement and senior living, life stages they see as too often associated with immobility, deterioration and marginalization. Those baby boomers who have begun considering senior living arrangements are already challenging the status quo, and builders, developers and designers scramble to keep up. More companies are now attempting to develop living spaces that will appeal to the tastes and later-life aspirations of the large, and largely wealthy, baby boomer market. At the same time, they are employing new terms like "active adult" and "active living community" to reflect new, dynamic concepts of what senior living is. Builders and marketers who successfully relate to the baby boomers' vital self image will realize rapid growth as the boomer market moves en masse into its retirement life stage. Companies aiming to stay ahead of the trends will appreciate the resource offered in Building Type Basics for Senior Living. A straightforward but forward-thinking offering from the "Building Type Basics" series, it looks at current designs holding greatest appeal to the senior living market. The authors are architects and leaders in the field of senior living design; their wide range of expertise is evident in the book's scope. Concise, essential information – including sample floor plans, diagrams, and photographs – is provided for the planning and designing various types of housing and care facilities. Among these are all the most common types of senior living communities, from active adult to assisted living, continuing care, and Alzheimer's care facilities. The number of senior housing facilities nationwide having more than once doubled in recent years, the industry is hardly able to keep up with itself. Careful planning and attention to the elements of design are essential, however, for building communities with broad and lasting appeal to seniors and their families. As baby boomers join the ranks of mature adults, swelling further the demand for senior living communities, higher standards will become the norm; companies and their designers will need to arm themselves with the latest information on trends and innovations.Building Type Basics For Senior Living provides just the timely tool that's needed for professionals tackling the challenges of today's senior housing market.
