accessibility, and safety,” said Judge Maria Nadelstumph, Brandywine Senior Living vice president of organizational develop- ment and program excellence. In designing the building, the stake- holders focused on resident choice. For example, the building’s activity areas are designed to encourage the choice of interaction. Residents can see activities underway and choose if they would like to participate. Te building’s residential floors offer 243 apartments with 12 dif- ferent floor plans, while dining areas offer multiple seating arrangements. Technology is woven throughout the buildings to ensure residents’ safety and well-being. To minimize walking dis- tances, elevators are dual-sided and four elevators aid in shortening the wait time. Emergency response systems are used in residence bath and bedrooms. More than 100 cameras are present at building entry points, resident corridors, and other key areas. Doctors’ offices are located in the community’s Wellness Center along with home health and rehabilitation services. Te judges agreed that the project accomplished its three goals: to create a community of unsurpassed luxury and hospitality, to design a building with excellent customer service found in a luxury hotel while providing exceptional care and service, and to create a building designed for aging in place while utilizing extensive technology features.

Vivante on the Coast


“This project has the kind of elements I like to see in a project: innovative use of technol- ogy that the residents can use, and finding ways to attract families to visit their loved ones more regularly. The exterior courtyard has an abundance of smaller seating areas for families to hang out with and visit their loved ones.”


—Judge Dan King, principal, Meyer, discussing Vivante on the Coast
