About

After 2020, it is more pertinent than ever to reexamine the way we approach senior living. It’s no secret that senior living took a big hit this past year, and while many facilities continue to face their fair share of trials and tribulations with the virus, our senior living facility, Camellia Place, has managed to maintain zero COVID-19 cases amongst all of their residents. In this webinar we’ll walk you through a case study of Camellia Place as we explain how to replicate our suburban solution.

Join us as we discuss how some of the current challenges the industry is facing are leading to a shift from the apartment to “Big House” model for senior living housing and how this less common approach is helping senior living communities respond to and address quarantining and social isolation without sacrificing the resident’s quality of living.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

  • The robust qualities of the “Big House” model
  • Utilizing building materials in a new and innovative way
  • How to integrate design with patient care
  • Why emphasis on landscape will be critical to resident well-being
