Halloween means scary fun for many people, but it can be upsetting and confusing for people living with dementia. This doesn’t mean senior living and long-term care communities can’t celebrate. It calls for careful consideration and meeting these individuals where they are. We have highlighted some Halloween fun that is safe and comfortable for people living with dementia in our recent article.

The design and layout of a building or community can go far toward reducing the environmental risks of falling. One of the design aspects of senior community design is fall prevention, as even minor falls can significantly impact residents' health and independence. Thoughtfully planned interiors can help reduce fall risks, promoting safety and well-being.

As we gather around tables with family, friends, and loved ones this Thanksgiving, Pi Architects’ team wants to reflect on this past year's progress, growth, and purpose. This holiday is a special time to pause, appreciate what we have, and look forward with gratitude and excitement for what’s yet to come. We have so much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. We have had the opportunity to partner with visionaries and organizations to design communities and spaces that promote comfort, purpose, and well-being. We are also incredibly fortunate to have a team of passionate, talented, and creative professionals – specialists across all major design disciplines, architecture, interior design, repositioning, development, master planning, and longevity.
