When you talk to people living with dementia and their families, it is clear that they face numerous challenges. However, there are no easy solutions. It isn’t always desirable to go into a nursing home or even an assisted living facility, and it can be difficult to keep them at home. We can help by creating and promoting design elements that make it safe and comfortable for individuals with dementia and their families wherever they are.
The popularity of pickleball is estimated to have grown nearly 40% between 2019 and 2021. More than 36.5 million people played the sport between August 2021 and 2022.
It’s clear that pickleball is here to stay and I have to admit I’ve joined the revolution. It’s a great way to get exercise and have fun!
Writer E.M. Forster once said, “What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?” That is the essence of why people seek places.

Testimonials
“The team has developed a small house architectural and programmatic model that ARI has reviewed. I like it. The size of the living spaces, for 16 residents, is very appropriate in the current environment. The MyHouse plan is flexible and should work well for many organizations.”
David Slack, Aging Research Institute
“The success of any complex project depends in large measure on the team assembled and the team’s ability to communicate and work collaboratively and unselfishly with the owner/operator toward the goal.
Pi Architect’s service and commitment to Westminster was and continues to be excellent and their contribution to our organization commendable.”
Chuck Borst, Executive Director, Westminster, Life Care Services
“Greg and his team guided a painless review process helping us achieve every one of our exception requests and working with the State to modernize the outdated nursing regulations for our buildings.
Thanks to Pi, we feel confident breaking new ground and continuing to push the status quo in the nursing market; something we think keeps Diakonos Group ahead of the game.
I would highly recommend Pi Architects if you’re looking not just for a guiding hand through the red tape, but a trained team dedicated to blending your senior living needs with the expertise that matters.”
Scott Pilgrim, CEO, Diakonos Group
"Because of Pi Architects' visionaries we were able to reposition our campus from a 1960's nursing home into a state of the art, full-service senior living community."
Godwin Dixon, Executive Director & CEO, Presbyterian Communities and Services
