Industry Expertise​

Our approach integrates clinical research, aging science, psychology, and operational design to reimagine how communities can support people living with dementia.

We plan, build, and engage communities, guided by research and expertise across six key domains.


Each domain is an integral part of an operational model that allows us to design environments that truly work for dementia-friendly communities. 

Gerontology & Cognitive Science

guides care model development and supports the design of spaces suitable for individuals with cognitive impairments.

We collaborate with the clinicians and researchers from various fields, including:

Cognitive decline and memory preservation

Chronic disease management and mobility support

Risk mitigation through design (e.g., fall prevention, sensory adaptation)

Aging-in-place frameworks and aging cohort analysis

Public Health & Healthcare Systems

ensure the model aligns with larger healthcare frameworks, including the National dementia strategy of Canada.

We strive to reduce hospital strain and provide access to essential healthcare services for every community member, focusing on:

Decentralized care delivery

Cross-jurisdictional equity

Interoperability between housing and public health

AI & Smart Infrastructure

Supports caregivers and community residents in creating a safe, more interactive, personalized environment.

Our technology strategy is guided by real-world research in:

Predictive analytics for aging

Wearables and behavioral monitoring

Smart infrastructure that balances freedom and safety

Sustainable Urban & Environmental Planning

ensure the model aligns with larger healthcare frameworks, including the National dementia strategy of Canada.

Our development planning integrates:

Land use optimization for rural, suburban, and urban contexts

Biophilic design and low-carbon construction approaches

Community services planning to reduce isolation and car dependency

Water, waste, and energy strategies aligned with environmental performance targets

Modular Architecture & Construction Engineering

play a key role in designing durable and adaptable physical environments to meet evolving needs over time. 

Behavioral Science & Social Systems​

provide an understanding of social behaviour, social support systems, and community dynamics within the dementia-friendly village.

Behavioural health is the foundation of cognitive health. That is why Quilt Community combines research around:

Social inclusion and purpose-driven roles for senior adults

Emotional regulation through space design

Daily structure and sensory orientation

Normalization of living through shared routines and familiar rituals
