When most people think of aged care, they picture tired, dark old buildings that feel and act more like hospitals.
Managing Director of Calder Flower Architects & Interiors, Lara Calder is determined to change that perception, believing that there is no reason why the last place that you call home in this world, can’t also be one of the best.
Through thoughtful environmental design that connects people with the memory-inducing sensory experiences of the outdoors, Lara’s vision is to create spaces that bring delight and joy to both residents and the staff who care for them.
In this episode of The Business of Ageing, we will also discuss new, alternate models of seniors housing including co-generational communities and small-household co-living developments that are starting to gain some real traction.
So prepare to be inspired as nurse-turned architect, Lara Calder and the brave clients she works with, transform the concept of what “home” means for people as they age.
