Honoring Those That Serve

Veterans Homes Design

Orcutt | Winslow is honored to serve our Nation’s Heroes as Architect and Interior Designers for more State Veterans’ Homes across the country than any other design firm. With several Veterans serving in our Senior Living Studio, this project type is special and personal to us. With over 18 State Veterans’ Homes completed or active in design, we have evolved this unique project type over the course of two decades. Each one is custom designed to respond to the unique and varied needs of the Veterans we serve. Our architectural philosophy promotes wellness, safety, individuality and gratitude for their service to our nation. We have been advocates for the household model design for decades and celebrate a strong partnership with the Federal VA who provides part of the funding for these special projects.

Empowering Veteran-Centric Care

Addressing workforce challenges through creative solutions and our unwavering dedication to veterans’ homes is evident in our pledge to enhance veteran-centric care. As Veterans’ homes face consistent shortages of talent, from executives to caregivers, we offer innovative design solutions that optimize workforce resources while delivering exceptional care. With a deep understanding of the delicate balance between experience and environment, we strive to create spaces that nurture a compassionate and supportive environment for both staff and residents.

Spaces Supporting Staff Wellness

State Veterans’ Homes residents require some of the highest level of care among our Senior Living design portfolio. As such, we remain mindful and attentive to those unique needs that these residents require. Simultaneously, we are also focused on the demands and needs of the staff who care for our nation’s heroes. Providing soothing and nurturing spaces for staff to thrive and support the residents is key to provide the highest quality of care. Ensuring residents and staff have ample access to well designed spaces, plentiful daylight and views along with connectivity to nature and the outdoors, is key in our design philosophy.

Designing with Heart

Creating empathetic environments for respected Veterans our commitment to caring for seniors encompasses a profound respect for the veterans under our service. We embrace a mission-based approach in designing compassionate spaces for veterans’ homes. Whether it’s private for-profit, private not-for-profit, public, or veteran-specific facilities, our focus remains on creating dignified and caring environments. Most of our State Veterans’ Home designs also include Rehabilitation programs providing physical, occupational and speech activities to help residents regain their independence and maintain dignity, which is their most valuable trait. Our design approach includes clustering small group of resident rooms around communal area such as a great room, dining area, household kitchen and outdoor garden/courtyard. Our thoughtful design fosters a sense of community, respect, and comfort for veterans, allowing them to feel valued and cherished throughout their stay.
