CEO, Principal Designer
As CEO, Principal Designer, and Chief Visionary at HHDESIGNERS, Heshy's gifted eye and passion for breaking molds is apparent in every project his firm undertakes. His impressive portfolio includes one-million-square-foot office parks, five-star hotels, 500-home residential developments, healthcare complexes, entertainment venues, and other spaces across the U.S. and around the world.
Designing an assisted living facility is a high-stakes decision that will shape your operations for years to come. HH Designers has designed dozens of assisted living communities across the country and knows exactly how to get it right.
Assisted living environments have evolved significantly over the past decade. What was once institutional is now expected to feel residential, welcoming, and even hospitality-driven.
As an interior designer for assisted living facilities, we have many beautiful examples of our assisted living design. We know what works, what doesn’t, and how to create a space that builds community and trust with families.
Today’s residents and their families expect more. They want spaces that feel like home, not facilities.
That shift is exactly why firms with deep experience in senior living interior design are playing a much larger role in shaping these environments from the very beginning. The goal is not just compliance or functionality. The goal is to create a space that supports independence, dignity, and emotional well-being.
HH Designers does not replace architects. Instead, the firm works alongside them to elevate the outcome of the project.
On assisted living projects, HH Designers collaborates with trusted architects and institutions as an extension of the design team, ensuring that architectural decisions align with real-world use and resident experience. This collaborative approach is what allows the firm to deliver the type of environments showcased across their senior living project portfolio, where design, function, and aesthetics are fully integrated.
Their role includes:
The result is a building that not only works, but feels right.
One of the biggest shifts in assisted living is the move away from clinical environments.
Spaces should feel warm, familiar, and comfortable. This includes everything from furniture selection to lighting to layout. As explored in HH Designers’ perspective on assisted living design trends, modern facilities are increasingly influenced by hospitality and residential design principles.
Safety is non-negotiable, but it should not dominate the aesthetic.
Design elements like non-slip flooring, intuitive layouts, and strategic lighting can all enhance safety without making the space feel clinical. HH Designers often integrates these principles into their work, as seen in their approach to infection-conscious design planning, where safety and comfort are balanced intentionally.
Operational efficiency is just as important as resident comfort.
Poor layouts can increase staff fatigue and reduce quality of care. That is why HH Designers places a strong emphasis on designing spaces that support caregivers, ensuring that back-of-house areas, storage, and circulation are optimized alongside resident-facing environments.
Navigation is critical in assisted living environments.
Residents should be able to move through the space confidently without confusion. Thoughtful use of color, lighting, and layout can make a significant difference, which is why HH Designers has written extensively about wayfinding and color theory in senior living.
Modern assisted living communities are not single-purpose buildings.
They include dining areas, social spaces, therapy rooms, and more. These areas must be flexible enough to adapt to different uses while maintaining a cohesive design language throughout the building.
Lighting and acoustics are often overlooked, but they have a major impact on experience.
Proper lighting can reduce fall risk and improve mood, while acoustic control can minimize stress and confusion. HH Designers explores this in detail in their article on acoustic design in assisted living facilities, highlighting how sound management directly affects resident well-being.
Many projects run into issues because design is brought in too late.
Some of the most common mistakes include:
By involving a specialized firm early, these issues can be avoided entirely.
There are many firms that can design interiors.
Very few understand assisted living at a deep level.
