The award illustrates the trend in which consumers of the senior housing market are demanding the same level of amenities and features found in the for-sale market. "Historically, we in the senior housing market have told ourselves that real estate doesn't matter. Certainly the lifestyle and peace of mind our communities offer is a major motivation, but it's becoming clear that real estate is extremely important, as well. Willow Gables taught us that residents want a lot of ability to customize--to personalize--their homes. They have upgraded kitchens, finished basements and added sound systems. Our residents also enjoy the spaciousness of the Willow Gables villas, with room for guest quarters, libraries, offices and more. Each villa features a 'technology appliance,' a flat-screen computer providing a high-speed connection to the Internet, as well as a special Willow Gables intranet offering access to e-mail, activities information, in-home dining and catering services, and maintenance requests. We incorporated this feature to address the growing technology needs of our residents, many of whom are still working, and it has been tremendously popular.
