2022 Design Trends in Senior Living

Supporting Staff Efficiency

The Washington Post reported that as of January 2022, nursing homes and long-term care facilities have lost more than 420,000 employees. This is 12% of the total industry workforce.¹ 

With a severe nursing staff shortage continuing into 2022, many Senior Living providers are looking for ways to increase caregiver efficiency by rethinking workflows and strategically incorporating technology solutions to help relieve the pressure on direct care employees.  

Consider blending these highly efficient technology systems into your interior design:  

• DS smart® technology allows caregivers to instantly capture, protect and connect data to  EMR-connected equipment, such as wireless vital  signs monitors and scales.
• CenTrak’s TruView platform is a real-time  monitoring system that enhances safety and  security through advanced locating, contact  tracing, and roaming and wandering protection –  all through a single wearable device.  
• New nurse call systems provide complete  community situational awareness across clinical,  environmental and operational disciplines in  real time – sending alerts to mobile apps, text  messages, computers or tablets.
