Residential Design for the Growing Senior Market

• Overview

Learn about the latest development trends in senior and older adult living communities.

Market research clearly shows that the expectations of older adult consumers are changing. They are exhibiting an increased interest in hospitality/residential imagery and a demand for enhanced amenities, larger residences, stimulating and varied activities, and rich intergenerational experiences. Through a comparison of the current consumer and the consumer 10 years from now, this topic will analyze how yesterday's expectations are evolving into what we will see in the future, explore tomorrow's seniors' expectations for aging in place, and identify the products and parts of the continuum that will appeal to the next generation. This knowledge will be used to develop new environments for older adult lifestyle communities that will attract today's consumer while preparing for tomorrow's consumer.
