This compilation of more than 30 outstanding projects in the areas of assisted living, continuing care retirement communities, and nursing homes represents the best current work designed by architects for the ever-increasing aging population. A dedicated jury of architects from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Design for Aging Knowledge Community and LeadingAge, providers of senior housing services, selected the diverse range of projects featured in this volume for the successful Design for Aging series. Each project is presented with photographs, detailed plans, and statistics, illuminating the high level of research, planning and community involvement that goes into these advancements in living environments for seniors. This comprehensive review of architectural design trends in aged-care facilities will appeal to aged-care providers, developers, users, and advocates; architects; and interior, landscape, and other design professionals.
