Designing a better life for seniors

We search the globe to find innovative approaches to senior living environments, and we share them with you in our free monthly podcast. Our main focus is on design and technical innovation, but when we see a great idea, whatever the realm, we’ll make sure you get to hear about it.

Every month, we talk to international researchers, top designers, and operators sharing new and thought-provoking concepts for care, retirement, and dementia facilities. And we highlight the latest advances in technology in our ‘Innovation Spotlight.’

And there’s more. When you Join Us, you’ll periodically receive exclusive content we like to call a “TAD Extra” – additional context, resources and information that we find and share to say thank you for being part of our community.

We believe the best way to improve senior environments (including the ones that may be in our own futures) is by sharing lessons in best practice from every corner of the world and applying them to good effect, whatever your involvement, and wherever home is for you.

After conducting extensive research, peer reviews and field trials, we’ve launched the Wellness Interior Design Audit (WIDA). Learn more about it in the January podcast or here on our website.

This month on the TAD podcast...

What’s the Deal with Senior Cohousing? (Part 2)

This short series looks at the rise of Senior Co-Housing with Patrick Devlin, the architect who designed the first UK example, the much studied New Ground project in North London. In Part 2 our focus is on ‘lessons learned’ and how the project has evolved in the decade since it launched and gained global attention.
