| dc.description.abstract | Aging brings about a transition that
highlights the importance of creating a
connection between our aging population
and the community. By seeking a stronger
relationship among the groups, quality of
life becomes the driving force to enhance
the current senior living program. A mixed use
skilled living facility will allow the Seniors
the independent living while incorporating
society to use the shared areas. Shared areas
will complement the existing retail stores
while adding health services and extending
current amenities. Prior to this project, the
Fargo- Moorhead community was familiar
with the Moorhead Center Mall. This
structure is failing to contribute to the retail
sector of the city. With the majority of the
retail spaces empty, the Moorhead Center
Mall presents an opportunity to create a safe,
independent space for Seniors to live and
interact with society and in return benefit the
community with a new and inviting space.
The challenge of aging will be addressed
through this thesis project displaying the
direct needs and reconnection with society
in order to better the quality of life for the
aging population. | en_US |
