AUSTIN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY

PROBLEM

SENIOR RESIDENTS MOVING INTO AN ASSISTED LIVING OFTEN FEEL LONELY AND ISOLATED. THEY ENJOY THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND OFTEN FEEL LIKE THEY LOOSE THAT ONCE THEY MAKE THE MOVE.

SOLUTION

CREATE A HOME LIKE ENVIRONMENT WITH OPTIONS FOR RESIDENTS. INCLUDE PET THERAPY AND OTHER ACTIVITIES TO ENCOURAGE ENGAGEMENT AMONG RESIDENTS.

CONCEPT: “THAT 70’S FEELING”

1970’S TRENDS FEATURE EARTH TONES ,TEXTURED FABRICS AND GEOMETRIC SHAPES BRINGING A SENSE OF BALANCE AND WELLBEING THAT WAS ONCE FAMILIAR TO RESIDENTS. TRENDS THAT COME FROM THE 70S ARE ROOTED IN NOSTALGIA BRING COMFORT FOR RESIDENTS DURING THIS LIFE CHANGING TIME. TO HELP EASE THE TRANSITION, A THERAPY DOG WILL SERVE RESIDENTS DURING THE DAY. RESIDENTS WILL HAVE THE OPTION TO EAT IN THEIR ROOMS BUT ARE ENCOURAGED TO EAT CATER MEALS WITH OTHER RESIDENTS.
