Perkins Eastman Principal Hoglund Shares Thoughts on Future of Senior Living

Perkins Eastman Principal J. David Hoglund was quoted in McKnight’s Senior Living, in an article on Love & Co.’s 2021 Seniors Housing Trends report. A LeadingAge Bronze Partner with CAST Focus, Perkins Eastman provides design that starts and ends with people, from visioning and planning to architecture and interiors.

“Changing consumer provides opportunities for life plan communities: report” highlighted that the pandemic has caused senior living to reconsider how communities are designed and operated. The pandemic has also increased use of technology, in response to changing expectations among prospects and residents.

“The community has a responsibility — especially with COVID-19 changing things — to provide safe visitation spaces and make other long-term investments that make the community relevant to prospects,” Hoglund wrote. Such investments could include reconfiguring outdoor visitation spaces or adopting a small home model, he told McKnight’s Senior Living.
