Senior Living Community Design
Spaces that Maintain and Enhance Quality of Life
You strive to offer nurturing, thoughtful, quality care and services to your clients. We design facilities that support your mission. Our architects and engineers stay on top of the latest advances and research in facilities for senior living and care. We’ll work alongside you to explore the next steps for your facilities and services. Whether it’s renovations, additions, new construction, Widseth has guided numerous non-profit, private, and public care providers through the planning, design, and construction process. We are well-versed in the industry’s issues, trends in construction technology, and the requisite state and local building codes.
