Most senior homes supply the most basic needs for the people living there, but my goal is to design a place that makes them feel safe, young, and healthy, to make them thrive in their last few years.
I am passionate about this topic because I believe everybody deserves to be comfortable, stress free, and at home during a time in their life when they would normally feel the opposite. During this time of traumatic events around the world, elderly communities are most important because this group of users are the ones at risk the most.
The end goal is to create a space that the seniors would be happy to go to. To design a space that makes the user feel like they never left home. This design offers comfortable and easy to use furniture, multiple kitchens, game areas, casual dining, visitor spaces, entertainment systems, and any other spaces needed for each daily activity.
At ALOE, residents live in their own rooms and share common areas. They have access to many services, including up to three meals a day; assistance with personal care; help with medications, housekeeping, and laundry; 24-hour supervision, security, and on-site staff; as well as social and recreational activities.
