Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease that causes a degeneration to the brain leading to early death. “In the U.S. one in three seniors die from this debilitating disease, and of that number two-thirds of the seniors are women. Dementia Care is an ever growing industry in the U.S. where the cost is currently $226 billion per year and expected to grow to 1.1 trillion by 2050” as reported by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.
When a senior is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and they need acute care, one option is to be placed into a Memory Support Unit (MSU), where they provide dementia care. The interior design visual goal for the interior spaces of a MSU, is to ensure that the space is as residential as possible removing all hints of an institutional feel. Senior Furnishings is a company based in Pasadena, California that provides furniture, artwork, and décor, specifically designed for MSU interior environments.
