The Story Behind the App
The app, Peaceful Placement, is going to make it easier for people to find a nursing home for their loved one. This app is designed for you to be able to search through different nursing homes based on location or ZIP code. You will see details about what the home offers, as well as reviews on the home. Once you find one you like, you can select it as a favorite. Then, either continue to search for other homes or virtually tour the home and finalize your decision.
What makes Peaceful Placement so unique and special is that once you find the perfect home, you will be able to communicate with the staff of the home regarding any questions or concerns you may have about your family member. You also have the ability to view a calendar of events for the home.

Design Challenges
Deciding what color scheme will work best.
How to create a design to fit with the age range of 35-60 year olds?
What type of background is going be simple and modern, yet not too distracting?
What movement inside the app will flow the best?
How can I create the app to be user friendly?
Goals
The goals for this project are:
To make the app user friendly. The app will be successful in helping people find nursing homes for their loved ones while also keeping the user feeling confident in their decision.
The app will continue to be used beyond placement by allowing family to stay in communication with the staff at the nursing home, and view the calendar of events each month.
Research & Surveys
UI Design?
What should be included in the app? What is the tone and feeling of the brand?
What were the key points found in research?
During the research process I found that most people want a soft modern feel to the app, as well as wanting to stay in touch with their loved one. This is a very sad and stressful process. The app would be sucessful if it were able to make this process smooth and easy. The look of the home is not as important as the feeling they get when visiting the home.

Journey Map
The journey map was created to show different scenarios that could happen while using the app and how the user would feel and react with every situation.
Contract & Money Move In Family Member
Empathy Map
The empathy map is created to show the pros and cons of this app, figure out the app look and what the main goals in designing this app will be.
User Flow
The user flow map is created to show how a user is easily going to move through your app from beginning to end. It also shows what is included with each step along the way.
Wireframing
Wireframing is the process in your app design where you start sketching out how each page of your app will look, what movements will go with it, and what will come after each page.
Logo Sketches
Spot/place, soft, caring and modern were the focus in creating the logo.
Logo First Draft
Logo Second Draft
Final Logo
Included in the final logo is a house and a heart. The overall shape is designed to represent a bigger heart. The small heart in the logo is stretched out to be seen as a pin point.
The perfect app to help you find the perfect nursing home.
Final Logo with Signature
In this stage I took the original logo along with the name of the app as one signature logo. For the second signature I kept the logo with name and added a brief statement about the app.
Prototypes
Prototype is the stage when your design is completed and will flow together. Then you begin adding in the movements of each page of the app and make sure it all fits together.
Detailed Design
In the overall design of the app my goal was for it to look soft, welcoming, and modern, so the app does not overwhelm the users.
List Mode
The list mode function is an option in which you will see the homes with photos and ratings.
Map Mode
In searching for a home this is what you will see on the app. The hearts are pins of each nursing home found in the area you are searching.
Calendar
Once the user finds a home for their loved one, they will be able to view the calendar of events offered each day.
Onboarding
Onboarding is the user’s first impression of the app. If it is well designed it will increase the chances of people downloading the app. Once a user opens the app for the first time the onboarding will show the value in the app and the key elements and features used on the app.
Loading Screen
The loading screen is the first screen that is displayed when an application loads. It can also be the welcome screen of your mobile app the users encounter while launching the application.
Social Media Ad
This ad was created to draw in more users and encourage them to download the app once they see it.
