SmartAging at Satahyvää

How can physical environments and technology better support care work and the well-being of older adults? At the Satahyvää event on October 29, we presented the latest insights from the SmartAging project (Interreg Baltic Sea Region) focusing on resident participation and care work in assisted living.

Our needs assessment highlighted that while social interaction is vital for residents’ emotional well-being, care professionals emphasize adaptable spaces, easy maintenance, and relieving everyday operational burdens. To bridge these needs, we are developing the “Social Oasis” concept and practical prototypes – shifting the responsibility for fostering engagement from individual employees to organizational routines. When environments actively support community and wellbeing, precious time is freed for genuine human connection.
