by I Advance Senior Care Designer, speak for yourself (PDF opens in a new window)
For many years Long-Term Living, through its annual DESIGN publication, has offered a forum for architectural and interior design firms to display their most recent long-term care projects. The focus-both for the firms and for the reviewers who judged the projects-was on the projects themselves, not on those who created them. Our fourth annual Corporate Profiles section offers design firms the opportunity to describe and talk about themselves. These “architectural/interior design calling cards” enable readers to briefly meet and review experienced and accomplished firms in long-term care construction and renovation.
