over-65 population is increasing rapidly and dramatically, raising crucial
concerns about the housing and care of senior citizens in the years ahead. How
can we provide the best possible quality of care to the elderly? How can
architects, developers, and others capitalize on the growing senior housing
industry and stay competitive in the future? How can the facilities they create deliver both good service and strong
financial returns?While there are no easy answers to these important questions,
the Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model has emerged as a flexible
and attractive option for providing combined housing, services, and nursing
care to the elderly. Senior Residences equips architects and other industry
professionals with a comprehensive, three-part strategic framework for
designing and developing successful CCRC projects. Part I identifies the eight
critical success factors of a CCRC enterprise and illustrates them through an
in-depth examination of two exemplary developments, The Cypress of South
Carolina's Hilton Head Island and The Stratford in the San Francisco Peninsula.
Part II details a computer-based "standard of performance" system to track
progress and assess project performance. Finally, Part III examines how to use
different types of research to stay on top of market trends and forecasts,
legal and licensing requirements, and more. Together, the three elements of this executive strategy cover every aspect
of the development process, from the initial enterprise concept and executive
organization building to financial and legal due diligence, marketing and
sales, residents' services and healthcare, and design and build. Readers gain
essential guidance in tackling key project management issues as well as in
developing effective problem-solving and troubleshooting skills. Written by an
author team with extensive CCRC experience, Senior Residences helps encourage
avenues of thought that will lead to more cohesive, responsive, and successful
CCRC projects that benefit the professionals who build them and the residents
who live in them. The accommodation and care of senior citizens is a growth industry. This
book aims to provide architects, and other industry professionals, with a
framework for developing and creating successful projects.
