Senior Living Resource Guide

The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) released its first Senior Living Resource Guide, developed by the ASID Committee on Adaptive Living (CoAL). The guide addresses the role of interior design professionals to consider the health and wellbeing of older individuals who want to live autonomously. With this responsibility, the guide provides insight on the current challenges of senior living communities and offers solutions for practitioners to adopt as they support this demographic in the built environment.

“As the population of older adults continues to increase, designers must pivot their work in order to foster supportive spaces that tackle the needs of this community,” said Khoi Vo, Chief Executive Officer of ASID. “The work produced by the ASID Committee on Adaptive Living delivers a thoughtful resource for practitioners as we address our responsibility to improve the independence and wellbeing of this population through the built environment.”
