Creating sustainable environments that continue over many decades to provide maximum benefit to residents is the objective of senior living facility owners and designers. For two years a national volunteer team has been developing a Senior Living Sustainability Guide (SLSG) to assist with this objective. This roundtable will share the completed SLSG and plans for pilot testing. Participants will discuss in-depth the four dimensions for achieving long lasting sustainability and how to realize them. |

R02 — Creating Sustainable Transformation—The Longitudinal Process of Culture Change Culture change is the solution to creating resident-responsive senior environments.

This roundtable will explore culture change and the tools, actions and processes that organizations undertake in order to alter the out-dated habits and assumptions of institutional care. You will explore the hidden role design plays in culture change, including the congruence between the physical, social, and organizational environments found within senior care settings. |
