Leslie Morgan (UMBC): Quality Assisted Living
Looking for a high quality assisted living facility can be a stressful experience for older adults and their families. The challenge starts when we ask, “What is high quality?” Dr. Leslie Morgan suggests a more helpful question: “What facility would best meet the individual personality and needs of my loved one?” “Quality Assisted Living” provides results from a study on perceptions of what constitutes quality of life in assisted living facilities, funded by the National Institute on Aging. In this video, Morgan explains how her research team completed in-depth interviews with residents, staff and family members to tease apart the notion of “quality.” The book they’ve delivered is a down-to-earth, accessible discussion of topics ranging from dining preferences to housing regulations to financial issues, in residents’ own words. Morgan is a professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and a researcher with UMBC’s Center for Aging Studies.

Armagosa Senior Center
APTUS worked with representatives from Nye County, Nevada and the Amargosa Valley Senior Center in order to ascertain the suitability of constructing a new facility on their current parcel. In addition, we are assisting Nye County staff in identifying environmental alternatives and researching potential grants and rebates for the materials used in the design and construction of the new facility. While exploring multiple site options and potential locations for the new structures, the team continuously worked to develop and refi ne the right combination of efficiency, function, and sustainability. This included the senior center expansion and surrounding activity areas, remodel of the existing structure, addition of new senior housing, a new RV park and appropriate circulation between these areas. Through multiple public and stakeholder meetings, we were able to narrow down the location of the new senior center within the site, and then compile multiple blocking diagrams to further pursue an efficient, functional, sustainable solution. Faced with the reality of building in a remote, rural location, the project team discovered that the simplest solution could be the most appropriate one as well.
