Altenheim and Planetree — creating environments for optimal care.
Planetree is a mission based, not-for-profit that partners with healthcare providers globally to facilitate patient-centered care in healing environments. Planetree Principles are incorporated into the designs of both residences by nationally known architects, C.C. Hodgson Architectural Group. These principles represent the highest level of achievement in person-centered care and design which blend design and operational elements in households rather than clinical units. This philosophy aligns with Altenheim’s mission to achieve optimal mental, physical and spiritual well-being of residents, families and the community.
Inspired by Altenheim’s Germanic roots, the design is reminiscent of an alpine lodge with iconic elements such as a gabled roof, shake shingles, rustic wood and expansive windows.
