We do the legwork. You get the edge.
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...
The Best of TAD: Pets in Care, Dementia and Retirement Living
This month we feature an episode from the Third Age Design archives, a Best of TAD favourite which was based on substantial research that indicates pets have important health benefits including: improved mood, lower blood pressure, increased exercise rates and a reduction in stress. But…in senior living, do these benefits outweigh any risks, and how might these be reduced by getting both the offer and the environment itself absolutely correct? Join Lori and three expert guests from the US, Canada, and the United Kingdom to learn more about this impactful but seldom-discussed topic.
Early adopters can take the WIDA for just £99 GBP/$130 USD. Don’t miss this great introductory offer for your organisation! See details here.
