The dark gray facade is rather ugly. Make it a lighter color. Make sure the apartments have enough space, about 900 sq ft for a two bedroom and 700 for a one bedroom apt.

An important part of planning for successful senior living is resilience: I.E. the ability to for the living space to function even when something goes wrong. As a paramedic, I spend a lot of time in senior... Read more...
