At Desert Serenity, core vision focuses on ensuring the utmost safety, comfort, and dignity for individuals living with dementia. We aim to create a supportive and enriching environment that caters to residents across all stages of dementia—whether in the lower, moderate, or higher spectrum.

“LOVE, COMFORT AND CARE”

DESIGN STRATEGIES

As the individuals navigate challenges such as memory loss, disorientation, and diminished capacity to care for themselves, they require environment designed to support their unique needs.

PREVENT FALL QUALITY OF LIFE

It has been found fall as the second leading cause leading cause of unintentional injury, with seniors being the most affected. Providing good lightning, slip-resistance floor, grab bars, and frequent monitoring are essential for fall prevention.

Creating quality of life for older adults means opportunities for meaningful social interactions, residents feel part of a community rather than feeling isolated. Providing workshops, sensory activities, and providing small activities can promote growth and exploration.

PROMOTE INDEPENDENCE

Independence allows residents to maintain control over aspects of their daily lives, contributing to their emotional and psychological well-being Accessible layouts, visual way finding cues, personalized routines and spaces foster independence.

EMOTIONAL REASSURANCE

By addressing emotional needs agitation and behavioral challenges can be minimized and also enhancing residents’ quality of life. Creating familiar environment, smooth color palette, biophilic environment, and implementing sensory cues are some of elements that reassure and comfort residence.

SPACE PLANNING

Studies has shown providing familiar residential like space promote safe, secure, minimizing confusion and distress. By designing memory care facilities to resemble familiar residential spaces, we create environments that not only address the unique challenges of memory impairment but also preserve dignity, promote emotional well-being, and enhance the quality of life for residents.

The floor plan is been inspired from residential space, where bedrooms are accessible from common spaces like living, dining and kitchen area. Creating private space like bedroom in two wings of building and common area in central area to create a self-contained floors where residents can roam freely.
