The language we use can influence how we feel about a place. A “facility” can evoke images of a sterile, institutional setting, which can be uninviting and unappealing 🙅‍♀️

Many care facilities (including retirement homes) are designed with a physician-centered approach known as the “medical model” 👎

It’s time to put the needs of the residents first - and that starts with the design of these spaces 🏡

Northern Comfort is here to challenge this model, and put h o m e back into retirement home 💙
