May 10, 2020

JSR Associates' Jane Rohde talks about how the senior living and eldercare markets have been hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. But there may be a silver lining.

In this poignant, yet hopeful episode of I Hear Design, JSR Associates' Jane Rohde talks with Chief Content Director Robert Nieminen about how the senior living and eldercare markets have been hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic as the death toll in the U.S. hits 50,000.

But there may be a silver lining on the horizon as more designers ask about how they can affect change in public health policy and a design model that reflects person-centered care.
