Ever wondered about innovations and development in senior housing? The future of Senior housing is changing with the addition of club rooms and increased dining options. As such, senior living has a bright future. More senior living providers are focused on the smaller home trend to create affordable environments that are easier to secure from an infection standpoint. Senior living will also become more accessible for less affluent consumers. According to a study done by Gensler, the number of people aged 65 or older will double in the next 20 years.
Senior Housing News, a company that covers the senior housing industry, is designing projects that include the use of more outdoor space and are more affordable for residents. Due to the pandemic, individuals want to have more intimate, private space, but that still allows them to engage with the community. The new age of senior housing takes the gloom out of assisted and senior living. These facilities are providing a more positive environment that supports and encourages our seniors. A major trend in assisted living is the large number of home choice options. Co-op living, 55+ cottage communities and even tiny home communities are on the rise.
Key highlights for 2022:
- Courtyards with fire pits
- Covered areas with ample seating
- Additional outdoor spaces for entertaining
- Putting greens
- Heated pools
