A place to share our ideas about exciting innovations.
Santa Claus perfectly represents the ideal senior living resident. After polishing off his milk and cookies, he’s ready for health coaching, telehealth appointments, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with plenty of dining options to satisfy every craving. He also appreciates business and technology amenities to keep him connected to the North Pole and children around the world. Pi Architects can make sure your community stays on the “nice” list this year with our master planning, repositioning, and interior design services.
It is possible to be surrounded by people and still feel lonely. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), loneliness is common among older adults. While moving into a senior living community is often seen as a solution, the relocation alone rarely eliminates the issue. Loneliness does not vanish simply because older adults share the same address. What people need are meaningful opportunities for connection. And Pi Architects can help. Read more.
The holidays can be wonderful and stressful times for senior living residents and their families. Community leaders and staff can do much to make holidays – starting with Thanksgiving – a joyous, positive time for everyone. Invite prospective residents and older adults in the community at large to participate in one or more Thanksgiving activities. Let them experience for themselves how people live and thrive in the community.
At Pi, we stay attuned to what people want in senior living. So, we were curious – what would people who are years away from considering a senior community want? After all, these individuals are the residents of the future. So, shouldn’t we consider their wants and needs in our strategic planning now?
Read what our younger staff and family members had to say.
It‘s time to settle your fears over repositioning. With the right partners and planning, repositioning can be a dream instead of a nightmare. Look at the long-term benefits to the community to stay competitive and think of repositioning as a strategic investment in the future.

Testimonials
“The team has developed a small house architectural and programmatic model that ARI has reviewed. I like it. The size of the living spaces, for 16 residents, is very appropriate in the current environment. The MyHouse plan is flexible and should work well for many organizations.”
David Slack, Aging Research Institute
“The success of any complex project depends in large measure on the team assembled and the team’s ability to communicate and work collaboratively and unselfishly with the owner/operator toward the goal.
Pi Architect’s service and commitment to Westminster was and continues to be excellent and their contribution to our organization commendable.”
Chuck Borst, Executive Director, Westminster, Life Care Services
“Greg and his team guided a painless review process, helping us achieve every one of our exception requests and working with the State to modernize the outdated nursing regulations for our buildings.
Thanks to Pi, we feel confident breaking new ground and continuing to push the status quo in the nursing market; something we think keeps Diakonos Group ahead of the game.
I would highly recommend Pi Architects if you’re looking not just for a guiding hand through the red tape, but a trained team dedicated to blending your senior living needs with the expertise that matters.”
Scott Pilgrim, CEO, Diakonos Group
"Because of Pi Architects' visionaries, we were able to reposition our campus from a 1960s nursing home into a state-of-the-art, full-service senior living community."
Godwin Dixon, Executive Director & CEO, Presbyterian Communities and Services
