Regulatory Impact
SAGE is committed to influencing codes and regulations that have an impact on senior living environments. Senior living, healthcare communities are the second most regulated environments in the country, behind the nuclear industry. Regulations can make, or break, the culture within senior living environments.
SAGE has collaborated with a number of organizations who have similar passions for quality in senior living to impact the regulatory environment. These partners include The Pioneer Network, The Rothschild Foundation and The Facility Guidelines Institute. SAGE architects, research consultants and providers played an integral role in the introduction of the culture change initiatives into the 2012 NFPA Life Safety Code.
