Starting in 2018 the AG Team explored the future of senior living via our Boomers in Transition Survey Series. While the Covid pandemic interrupted the information gathering and data analysis process, it did not stop Boomers expectations from impacting the senior living industry.
Boomers have a reputation for redefining pretty much everything, so it is no surprise that this influential demographic of approximately 74 million people have their sights set on defying the aging process. They have seen how their parents have done it, and they are determined to, once again, do things differently.
As an architecture firm with a focus in senior living, it is our responsibility to our clients to help them deliver building products that will be a success in their chosen market—mixed use, multifamily and senior living environments that rise above the competition to be “the” place to live. The question everyone is asking right now is – What do Boomers want?
As Boomers transition from single-family homes, they know there are adjustments they need to make. And you can be sure there is a list of must-haves that impact their decision-making process. We want to uncover these must-haves.
Through a series of surveys, we have been exploring the new definition of senior living–from building typologies and types of sites to amenities and healthcare services. Some of the feedback has already influenced innovative design solutions that respond to the expectations of Boomers in Transition.
We started the survey series by asking about unit design. If you haven’t already seen our report and unit tour, please visit the Insights section to learn about What’s Next in Unit Design. We then circulated surveys about Living in Community and Living in Style. We continue to look for feedback on these important topics, so please take a few minutes to share your thoughts.
We are excited to introduce our final survey – Exploring Care Setting Preferences.
Health and wellness continue to be a focus of our society—no matter our age, we want to live our best lives. In our previous surveys we explored how the design of senior living communities can better support this desire to live long, healthy vibrant lives.
But, what if? What if there is a need that requires a setting with a higher level of healthcare?
Care settings are evolving across the healthcare spectrum, including residential settings for seniors. We want to know your priorities for an ideal care setting and resident experience. Whether you are looking for yourself or a loved one—or you work day in and day out caring for our senior population—we want to know your thoughts.
We appreciate your time and value your feedback. Thank you for your help!
