SAGE is thrilled to release Fostering Independence and Fostering Health and Wellness, design guides for the senior living industry. Written by expert focus groups of SAGE members–including architects, interior designers, owners, and operators–the guides support residents’ independence, health, and holistic wellness by providing practical approaches for designing purposeful environments for seniors.

We are very grateful to Tarkett, a global flooring manufacturer, for partnering with SAGE on this effort and making these Design Guides possible. When like-minded senior living thought leaders work together, great things happen, and these Design Guides are evidence of that.
“At SAGE, knowledge sharing is an integral part of our mission, grounded in collaborative research,” says SAGE President Jill Schroeder. “These design guides synthesize collective expertise and draw on established research in gerontological design. We sincerely hope that the ideas shared contribute to design decisions that help your communities continue to thrive.”
