MQDC (Magnolia Quality Development Corporation Limited) <\/span><\/strong>is one of Thailand's leading real estate developers, responsible for The Aspen Tree <\/span><\/strong>, a residential project for those aged 50 and above, featuring the concept of Lifetime Care. Located on a 398-rai site at The Forestias on Bangna-Trad Road, Km. 7, this community focuses on promoting a healthy and happy lifestyle, ensuring that residents can live their lives at 50+ according to their desired lifestyle without worries.

Ms. He Jun Park, <\/strong>Project Director of The Aspen Tree at The Forestias, <\/strong>stated, “The development of The Aspen Tree, a new residential concept for those aged 50+, aims to promote a safe and happy lifestyle according to residents' preferences, free from worries. This is the essence of providing comprehensive services and care under the Lifetime Care concept. The Aspen Tree has partnered with global experts in elder care, truly embodying a Global Expert. We are confident that Baycrest is one of the global leaders in this field, sharing a vision and mission aligned with The Aspen Tree, ensuring residents can enjoy a high quality of life with world-class standards.”
Examples of Lifetime Care for those aged 50+ include housing designed with safety in mind, daily nutritious breakfast services, weekly housekeeping, 24-hour emergency assistance, and activities beneficial for mental, physical, and emotional health. Residents can choose from various activities and daily life designs that encourage interaction with family, friends, and people from different generations, positively impacting the mental health of seniors. Research shows that seniors, whether in Western or Eastern countries, generally desire social interaction, happiness, and meaningful lives.
“The perception of housing for seniors in Thailand and Asia is changing. When discussing retirement housing, people are beginning to envision Happy Living Places that provide a good quality of life and happiness for this independent and beautiful stage of life, rather than places that are depressing,” said Ms. He Jun Park.

Dr. William Rice, <\/strong>CEO and President of Baycrest, <\/strong>an organization with over 100 years of experience in elder care and globally recognized, which partners with The Aspen Tree, stated, “One of Baycrest's key goals is to enable Aging Successfully, allowing those entering the senior age to live happily, meaningfully, and purposefully, following their preferred lifestyles, rather than waiting for illness or treatment. The main reason Baycrest decided to collaborate with The Aspen Tree is our aligned vision, focusing on creating positive impacts on society, improving communities, and benefiting the world. We believe that we do not only want to care for our own society but also to set an example for others around the world, showing that senior living can be a Happy Living Community where seniors can age beautifully.”
What makes <\/span>The Aspen Tree at The Forestias <\/span>different from other senior housing projects is the Lifetime Care concept, which provides care from the first day of residency, not just when illness occurs. The care and activities provided focus primarily on prevention. Additionally, being located in The Forestias, a community of people from various generations with diverse projects and lifestyle areas, offers a quality model that can serve as a good example for others worldwide. Interaction with people of different ages and proximity to nature is crucial and beneficial for seniors.
“One of Baycrest's important roles at The Aspen Tree at The Forestias is to leverage over 100 years of experience in designing activities for residents, adapting them to the Thai social context, as well as to individual preferences and health benefits. Furthermore, Baycrest will also design training programs for Care Takers who will take care of the residents,” Dr. William Rice added.
