Designing for Seniors

Sunrise Senior Living communities are designed to feel just like home, from the beautifully appointed common areas to thoughtful details found throughout the community. The Sunrise design team draws upon their expertise in both interior design and senior care, fusing form and function to create a senior-friendly environment designed for comfort, convenience and safety.

Sunrise Partners With HGTV’s Emily Henderson

Professional designer Emily Henderson, winner of HGTV’s "Design Star" and host of the HGTV show, "Secrets from a Stylist," shares her expert advice and recommendations for designing spaces for seniors in our helpful design guide, available to all new residents.

A Sunrise principle of service is to celebrate the individuality of every resident and that is exactly what I try to do as a designer. When someone walks into your room, it should feel like and look like you.
