Residential Care
Featured Residential Care Project
Journey Club at Westman Village
Active seniors living in the Westman Village community of Calgary, AB
We view seniors housing as a natural extension of both our residential and hospitality portfolios – and have been able to use this dual experience to deliver unique, high quality residential care facilities. We design residences for all levels of care, from independent living communities to memory care facilities, working to improve the quality of life for residents on behalf of both public and private clients.
Evidence-Based Design for Residential Care Living
NORR’s expertise lies in creating vibrant communities using evidence-based design. Our team considers a combination of elements starting with a core residential unit layout plan, but extends to retail, restaurants, health care amenities and distribution of activity spaces. We believe that functional planning works to create residential care facilities that best meet the needs of the residents, their families and the greater community.
Addressing Different Residential Care Market Sectors
NORR understand the different models of care and their associated costs for public and private residential care facilities. We work closely with clients to achieve the business goal of the facility tailored to the unique health care needs and desired lifestyles of a variety of markets. Our designs work to maximize the operating efficiency for staff and minimize life-cycle cost for the facility. Dedicated team members have a deep knowledge of government regulations and follow industry best practices.
