Memory care was the most popular topic among session proposals for the 2018 Environments for Aging Expo & Conference—so much so, that event organizers decided to dedicate this year’s closing keynote to a panel discussion focused just on that topic.
Editor-in-chief Jennifer Kovacs Silvis led the discussion with a panel of industry experts, including Richard Kieley, partner and senior manager at c.c. hodgson architectural group.
The hour-long discussion started with an overview of how the industry has evolved over the last decade, moving from a medical-based model to one that recognizes the importance of programming and built environments that support engagement and socialization, and concluded with a call for more flexible design solutions that have a positive impact for all residents. “What’s good for memory care is good for everyone,” Kieley said.
