Jane Rohde, a well-respected leader in the senior living space, returns to Minneapolis to discuss with senior living designers, developers, and operators emerging trends, today’s challenges, and fundamentals of designing and operating senior living communities. Held on Thursday, September 28th and Friday, September 29th, these discussions will touch on a range of topics including the unique performance and specification requirements, the four comforts, evolving and emerging care models, health and wellness, sustainability, the intergenerational perspective, and the unique needs of owner/operators. Each conversation will conclude with an opportunity for attendees to participate in a Q+A session with Jane.

Rohde will also facilitate a roundtable discussion with senior living community and facility operators to uncover challenges in their facilities while encouraging idea sharing, healthy dialogue, and networking within the operator group.

“Reflecting on how we can better support our partners at architecture and design firms in the unique senior living space, as well as facility operators, we were quickly reminded of the excitement that our audience had when Jane joined us in January of 2020. We knew we needed to bring her back to Minneapolis,” said Tim Miller, Principal and Vice President of Sales for Henricksen.

Henricksen has partnered with H Contract and Lou Reid Associates, Interface, and Fabricut on this program. Each brings a unique product offering relevant to senior living projects throughout Minnesota and across the country. “We’ve chosen to partner with H Contract and Lou Reid, Interface, and Fabricut on these professional development opportunities featuring Jane because they are some of our closest partners across the furniture, flooring, and textiles categories when working on senior living projects.” Henricksen’s senior living specialist and Senior Account Executive Michele Hazleton explains, “We are looking to continue to grow and evolve as a leader of senior living procurement and these key vendors are an important part of that growth.”

Designers, developers, and operators are invited to attend these sessions hosted at the Tractoworks Building in Minneapolis:

Elements of Senior Living: Lessons Learned – Establishing a strong foundation outlining the specification requirements for senior living, this workshop will detail what makes designing and specifying for senior living communities unique. Jane will touch on sanitation and performance requirements, things like seat height and depth, health, sustainability, and more. This will help designers new to senior living projects to specify projects to properly support the bodies of our aging population.
Solution Showcase – There are two opportunities to see new as well as tried and true senior living solutions from Interface, Fabricut, and H Contract. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions, share challenges, and learn more about service offerings.
Trends for Environments for Aging – There are two opportunities to hear Jane speak about emerging trends in environments for aging. She will touch on care models, health and wellness, sustainability, the intergenerational perspective, among other topics as well as host a Q+A session following the program.
Senior Living Operators’ Roundtable – An exclusive opportunity for senior living community operators to participate in a conversation facilitated by Jane to uncover challenges and opportunities in the facilities they lead.

Join senior living expert Jane Rohde in Minneapolis to explore emerging trends, challenges, and design fundamentals for senior living communities.
