Senior designer Grant WarnerHKS spends the night in senior living facilities with immersive indoor streetscapes like Watercrest Sarasota to fully experience the impact of their “outdoor” concept on resident engagement, family interaction, and resident engagement. Warner witnessed firsthand the stimulating environment it provides residents, caregivers, and their families.
“The smells of freshly cut grass transport me back to the ballfield where I spent time with my Dad,” he says. Marc VorkapichWatercrest Senior Living Group’s Principal and CEO.”Research has shown that using specific sights, sounds, or smells can connect us to our memories, and even enhance our experiences. This crucial element of multi-sensory programming at Market Street Plaza was designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each resident.
Watercrest’s Market Street Plaza is a unique design that features a streetscape that is ‘outdoor’. It features winding trees, fresh flowers and innovative visual cueing. All this is surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature. Residents enjoy the familiar comforts of familiar activities like stopping by the Post Office or Newsstand, browsing through the Art Gallery, sampling freshly baked pastries at Bakery, and visiting the Salon and Barber Shop to receive special pampering. Each space is thoughtfully designed to stimulate your senses and encourage interaction between residents, guests, and staff.
