Environments for Aging * special supplement

Heritage of Fort Wayne is a
modern senior living and care
campus in northeast Indiana offering the full continuum of care. The
assisted living and skilled nursing
building was designed to foster social interaction among all residents
and prioritize the importance of
the meaning of home.
Throughout design, the project
team conducted focused discussions with the owner, filtering
each decision through these two
strategic goals. So, the finished
building not only offers an array of
amenities, but provides a unique

residential setting dedicated to
resident independence and dignity.
While the healthcare layout
offers a modern household model
(12-15 resident rooms surrounding a shared common area),
discussions with staff early on in
the design process focused on differentiating two key spaces within
the care model: resident rooms
and a shared common space. Each
resident room was considered a
private and personal sanctuary
(home) where residents had control and independence. The shared
common living spaces adjoining
each resident room, while decorated in a homelike aesthetic, were
designed as civic space.
Decorated throughout in a
comfortable "barefoot elegance"
aesthetic, specific attention was
given to the subtle cues delineating and transforming the personal
space of each resident. Through
the provision of permissible space,
staffing procedures were reconsidered to emphasize the privacy of all
residents, giving them the ability
to control their respective level of
social engagement.
The result is a collection of
intimate and civic spaces interconnected by shared common areas
dedicated to offering a new place
to call home.
