Join in this intimate conversation with Jane Rohde, Principal
and Founder of JSR Associates Inc.——an architecture and interior
design firm, specializing (and known for) senior living.
Jane believes in a global cultural shift toward
de-institutionalized senior living facilities through research,
advocacy, and humanistic approaches to care. She and her team are
committed to supportive design that recognizes elders’
individuality and results in thriving, joyful environments.
It was hard to choose a favorite part of the interview because the entire conversation was magical. If I had to choose a favorite part, it was how Jane refers to her years in this field as a “covert operation”——asking senior living residents the right questions and then listening attentively to their answers, sneaking into management and operations meetings to uncover the biggest challenges and then working tirelessly to solve them.
In 2015, Jane received the first Changemaker Award for Environments for Aging from The Center for Health Design and in 2018, she received the ASID Design for Humanity Award. In October 2018, she was a Women in Design honoree awarded by Healthcare Design Magazine. Jane has been recognized as an Honorary Alumni of Clemson University for her teaching contribution to the Architecture + Health program.
Jane is certified by the American College of Healthcare Architects, the American Academy of Healthcare Interior Designers, and is a LEED Accredited Professional. She sits on various senior living, healthcare, and sustainability committees to support the creation of a tipping point for person-centered care environments like The Research Advisory Council which is the research arm of The Center for Health Design, the 2010 Cycle of the Guidelines for Design and Construction of Healthcare Facilities, and the ASHRAE 189.2 High Performance Healthcare Facilities Committee.
Her specialties include: Senior living consulting, healthcare consulting, architecture and interior design for senior living and healthcare projects, focus groups, facilitations and development consulting. Learn more about Jane Rohde and JSR by visiting: http://www.jsrassociates.net/

Featured Product:
Porcelanosa has always kept the environment in mind when
manufacturing and developing new products – including reducing any
emissions and waste created during manufacturing, and introducing
the use of recycled materials within the production chain. The
firm’s latest eco-friendly project is the
FOREST series. The series consists of four new PAR-KER® wood
porcelain tiles, designed to give a solution to the growing demand
in the healthcare industry.
The FOREST collection features a few noteworthy
traits, such as its durability, ease to clean and maintain, and
fade-resistant color.
The most interesting factor of the new
FOREST Collection is that is created out of over 95% of
recycled content. This product is made with a different and
recognizable color base to create a competitive advantage with
competing materials for the main environmental certifications of
buildings. The
FOREST Collection can emit up to 40% less CO2 in its production
facilitating their inclusion in eco-friendly projects throughout
the world. It is both sustainable and eco-friendly, while
maintaining the sophistication and warmth you desire for your home,
office or commercial setting.
