Detailed Description
Universal Design for Senior Living
Presented by: Beverly Brandon
Does your building's design and interior features assist your seniors in daily living activities? Aging in Place design and accessibility features in a senior community are critical to allow seniors to be as independent as possible for as long as possible. This session will highlight these features and give you the tools to assess you own community. Identifying barriers and eliminating them can be an effective way to enrich the lives of your residents. This session will also assist those communities who are considering accreditation by CARF/CCAC's who require communities to identify their barriers and establish a procedure to eliminate them. During this session attendees will be ask to evaluate spaces and identify if those spaces have barriers or not using their checklist provided. This same checklist of aging in place design features will assist attendees in assessing their own community.
Learning Objectives
- Know which design features allow aging in place;
- Identify barriers in your community that limit residents' independence and dignity;
- Provide barrier checklist tool to assist those communities considering CARF/CCAC
