DETAILS

 

In this one-day intensive workshop, expert faculty will share current physical, mental and societal challenges posed when individuals age, discuss programming and design interventions that can assist people (and their care givers) with those challenges, and present case studies and examples that integrate architecture, design and technology into healthy, safe living environments. 

 

Faculty and attendees will explore gaps in the current system, (certainly exposed and exacerbated by the current pandemic) and consider the latest in design thinking for healthy aging in various settings across the continuum of care. Identify state-of-the-art best practices and possible new solutions through thought leader presentations, case studies, and panel discussions. Attendees will have opportunities to pose questions to workshop faculty and interact with fellow attendees in fun and innovative ways. 

 

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the challenges of affordability in various settings for people as they age and how public /private partnerships and new approaches to programming and design can close the affordability gap and open access to living spaces.
  • Identify aspects of the built environment that across the continuum of care (i.e. aging in place, acute care, rehabilitation, AL, IL, etc.) that support (or don’t support) health and wellness and design strategies that better enable care.
  • Apply current design research findings to the design of personal and public spaces for people as they age.
  • Identify new and existing models for living environments for people as they age and evaluate their effectiveness for both care and health/wellness.
