Sunrise Senior Living Facilities
Sites in Minnesota and Michigan

Damon Farber Associates is working with Sunrise Senior Living to provide safe and attractive outdoor spaces for their assisted and independent living residences in Minnesota and Michigan. In general these residences provide walking paths and outdoor living spaces in a range of sizes and configurations providing a distinctly residential feel. The priority is to provide a secure and peaceful environment for social, educational and leisure activities which may include gardening.

Sensory gardens are provided to enhance experiences for seeing, smelling, hearing, and touching. Seating is placed strategically in these gardens for functionality and to maximize enjoyment of these spaces. Pergolas and gazebos are focal points providing shady areas for resident gatherings, and path-ways are designed and paved to accommodate wheel chair use. In addition raised planting beds provide easy access to plants for all garden users, and are especially helpful to the vision impaired and wheelchair users.
