Course Description:
This session will discuss how the long-delayed vision to create living and care settings for elders within a rural destination resort community with low population and high costs/expectations was realized through a public/private partnership with a not-for profit care provider utilizing community engagement, fundraising, and innovate planning and design. This presentation of the facility planning and design concepts will demonstrate areas where community input and participation shaped the final design. These efforts resulted in the opening of an innovative, regionally sensitive facility located within a walkable town center and achieving the goal of “Making the Community Whole.”
