Can good architecture actually slow the daily agitation and frustration that comes with dementia?

The answer is a resounding yes.

Our client Martin Kimmel, President and Chief Creative Officer of Kimmel Architecture , recently sat down with Jennifer Fink on her podcast "Dementia Decoded."

Kimmel and Fink engage in an elightening disussion to pull back the curtain on how we approach memory care design, and how families can take those very same design ideas and apply them inside their own homes.

Congratulations to our client James Balda, President and CEO of Argentum, for his published Op-Ed in today's Washington Examiner, "America built for the baby boomers. Now it must build for their old age."

As the oldest Baby Boomers turn 80, America faces a growing need for housing, health care capacity and a strong workforce to support an aging population.

In his thought provoking piece, James Balda examines why senior living belongs at the center of these conversations. Senior living is more than a place to live. It is housing, care infrastructure, social connection and a source of nearly 2 million jobs across the country.

The full piece can be read here :

Senior living connects housing, healthcare, and workforce needs. Public policy should treat it that way as baby boomers turn 80.
