CAPABILITIES SENIOR LIVING and MEMORY CARE ELM has carried out the design of several senior independent living, assisted living, memory care, and health care facilities, and we draw upon the full depth and breadth of this experience to achieve exceptional results in all of these types of projects. Experience has taught us what works, what doesn’t, how to maximize operational sustainability, build in capacity and flexibility, and create a fiscally sensible facility. MASTER PLANNING ELM’s master planning services range from large scale environmental analysis to site specific design solutions for use patterns, circulation, views, building design, and site utilization. The basis for ELM’s master planning work is the firm’s commitment to understand our client’s goals and objectives and to think strategically and apply our creativity to achieve them. ELM has developed master plans for health care and assisted living facilities, often spanning large sites and multiple project phases. PROGRAMMING ELM has a proven experience in planning, space needs assessment, understanding, and prioritization of program requirements for senior living, health care, and special care facilities. This experience includes resident/visitor use, circulation patterns, multigenerational considerations, flexibility of uses, and adaptability. In addition, ELM has experience in management strategies, operations, maintenance, and staffing needs. In confirming a project Program, we work with the client to establish a refined budget, determine potential opportunities for savings, and establish a realistic project schedule. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Well-conceived community outreach strategies are crucial to allow the final design to respond to the specific needs of each client/community. ELM follows a “Wallmapping Process” with the Client and project stakeholders that allows for brainstorming and prioritization of all project goals, facts, needs, issues, ideas, and concerns in a fully participatory way. Through this process we ensure a community-based, community-driven vision for the project. ARCHITECTURE and LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE ELM provides comprehensive multi-disciplinary design services in the disciplines of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Our emphasis on a participatory format working in-person with our clients helps to ensure broad participation throughout all phases of the process. Our work is creative and based in sustainability, operational efficiency, and life-cycle performance. We are licensed architects and landscape architects and understand construction and cost issues, typically working closely with contractors and estimators to monitor costs. 3
