DFAR is a biannual competition, which showcases facilities that improve quality of life for the aging while exhibiting innovation in their design and execution. There are four award categories: buildings; planning; concept design; and, research/post occupancy evaluations. Sanctuary Hospice House was entered in the building category, and it is one of 36 projects selected to be showcased in the traveling exhibit and the publication DFAR 9.
The exhibit will appear in several locations from 2007-2009. It was recently featured at the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging annual meeting, and the American Institute Convention in Boston will also highlight the exhibit.
