Over the years, the terms 'housing for the elderly' and 'day clubs for the elderly' have been synonymous with an old, dilapidated and uninvested building.

In recent years there has been an ever-increasing change and today's sheltered housing does not fall short of the most luxurious hotel and recently, another trend is beginning of integrating housing and day centers in the city centers and their connection with the surrounding community, from kindergartens to culture.

So where will you find yourself in old age?

"The issue of sheltered housing and the elderly is very much influenced by technology and advanced culture," says architect Uri Halevi of Urban Halevi. Do not wait for Grandma's visit once a month, today seniors call on WhatsApp and Facebook.



"The second change comes from our understanding of urban planning, we today understand that sheltered housing is part of a concept called: inclusive city - a city that adapts itself to all its residents. The city is designed for children, young people, families, people with disabilities and also the elderly. Contributing on many levels is creating a stylish and interesting city. This is reflected in our perception in the design of sheltered housing, we do not look at the place as a closed and fenced compound on the edge of the city, sheltered housing migrates to the city center and is part of our daily life. " Of the four sheltered housing projects being done in our office these days, we are planning sheltered housing with a first floor open to the neighborhood and containing restaurants and shops for the whole neighborhood and the city. Children as part of the compound. "



Halevy adds: "We understand over time that decentralization and rigid separation of functions is less good than the idea of ​​a heterogeneous community living in the same area. Sheltered housing should create a sense of home, it's the starting point, it should be a fun, elegant, well-equipped home that offers a variety of activities that take away from your daily chores. Fitness, spa, pool, library, showrooms and a very beautiful environment. "An adult lives in a place that attracts young people, it becomes more pleasant, and you really see that in all sorts of places, younger people are looking to enter sheltered housing and take the burden of day-to-day maintenance off of themselves."

All the necessary facilities.

Architect Itai Linenberg of Rosen Linenberg Architects, who is in charge of planning day centers for the elderly around the country, says: "This is a population that is growing every year and as the age increases, the desire to maintain a good quality of life is further enhanced. There was a place that certain strata would not reach, today as a result of a change of image you can find everyone there. By senior citizens who cook and sell their products, in addition we created a spa for them and gave emphasis to everything related to the world of music with an intimate and special concert hall.



"On the other hand, in Tel Aviv we have combined jobs for freelancers, a kind of wework positions where you can work quietly and comfortably. Year after year we see these centers entering the city centers, they are no longer in the city backyard, but in the neighborhoods and cities. This age, also politically is great and we see it in the field.What leads the design and planning are luxury and usability, the gym and all the facilities around like wardrobes and showers, maintenance, professionalism, should be of the highest rank there is.If people do not like the place, They will look for another place.
