Description
Designers and operators of senior living communities seek to offer residents the best quality of care, comfort, and lifestyle in their environment. To help organize and prioritize design strategies that address all these dimensions of well-being, emerging certification systems like Fitwel provide a framework to guide the implementation in design, construction, and operations. This presentation will share insights on the Fitwel Senior Housing certification system through the case study of the Clarendale of Franklin project—a transitional care senior living community. Learn how certification systems like Fitwel unfold the importance of integrated discussions, improvement of the design process and communication, and simple wellness-related design strategies.
