DIG Featured on Health Professional Radio

Vincent Myers, AIA, LEED AP, President of DIGroup Architecture, was a recent guest on Health Professional Radio. In the segment, “Architecture for Senior Living,” Myers offered insight on Senior Living and how it has transitioned from a hospitality-focused industry to one of healthcare and wellness. 

Many senior living facilities only cater to one type of care, but it remains a challenge to keep these spaces open and inclusive for all types of seniors. As a leader in the architectural field, Myers discussed the merits of inclusivity, “A facility might lend itself to a certain community. I would like to see more environments that cater to different needs…towards healthier places to live.” 

When asked how he sees senior living as a healthcare product from an architectural point of view, Myers remarked, “Every single environment that is geared for seniors is starting to recognize that due to the age of the seniors going into their facilities they will need to provide additional services…and will need to respond very quickly.”
