Re-Creating Home and Community is a webinar presentation of the trend in senior communities to create small households and commercial districts and the impact of these "neighborhoods" on residents.


Increasingly, senior environments are trying to recreate the layers of community life; from private bedrooms to small households, and to shared neighborhood spaces that try to emulate a “main street” commercial district. In this session, we will look at several examples of these layers to see what makes some more successful than others. We will also look at communities that have gone “outside-the-box” to really make the residents part of the larger outside community. Learn ways can you push the envelope in your next project.
