Santa Claus perfectly represents the ideal senior living resident. After polishing off his milk and cookies, he’s ready for health coaching, telehealth appointments, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with plenty of dining options to satisfy every craving. He also appreciates business and technology amenities to keep him connected to the North Pole and children around the world. Pi Architects can make sure your community stays on the “nice” list this year with our master planning, repositioning, and interior design services.

A friend once told me about visiting the Jersey Shore as a kid and seeing huge old mansions converted into retirement homes. Every summer, there would be dozens of residents sitting in rocking chairs on the porch, taking in the sites of the bustling beach community. These people, she estimated, were between 60 and 80 years old for the most part. Today, the statistics show that people of this age are doing anything but sitting on the porch; and senior communities need more rock and roll than rocking chairs to appeal to residents.
