About the course

Join us for a 90-minute moderated panel discussion exploring the evolving role of architecture in long-term care (LTC) and dementia-friendly environments. In this session, experts will address key issues such as redefining institutional care, fostering cultural change, and creating architectural solutions that prioritize person-centered care. Panelists will share their experiences with new models of care, the importance of individualized care plans, and the impact of inclusive design on quality of life for residents.
