Main Ideas in Apartment Design for Seniors
When we design apartments for seniors, we focus on what makes daily life:
- Safe
- Comfy
- Personal
Apartment design isn't just about picking paint colors or furniture, but about creating a home that fits how seniors enjoy their days. At TerraBella Southport, we put senior apartment features at the heart of our work to make sure every resident feels at ease.
Take safety, for example. Our apartments come with emergency call systems right in the rooms, so help is always a button away.
Then there's the layout. Open and simple, so moving around is a breeze, even for someone using a walker or wheelchair. We also add kitchenettes, perfect for making a quick snack or coffee without needing a full kitchen.
These small touches keep things practical while letting residents stay in charge of their routines.
Comfort ties it all together. Senior apartment features like personalized climate control let residents set the temperature just how they like it, whether they prefer it cozy or cool. Soft lighting and non-slip floors add warmth and safety without sacrificing style.
Every choice, from door handles to counter heights, is made with care to support daily joy.
Aging-in-Place Layouts for Staying Independent
Staying independent as you age is a big deal, and aging-in-place layouts make it possible. These designs focus on keeping life simple and flexible, so seniors can live independently for longer.
In our community, we build accessible housing for seniors with smart layouts that adapt to changing needs without feeling clinical or cold.
Bathroom
Our aging-in-place layouts include wide, step-free showers with grab bars that blend right in. They're sturdy but don't scream "hospital."
Doorways are wider, too, making it easy to move with a cane or wheelchair if needed. We keep floors clear and flat. These choices make navigation smooth, whether someone's spry or needs a bit more support.
Space
Our layouts avoid cramped corners, giving plenty of room to move furniture or add personal touches like a favorite armchair. Shelves and cabinets sit at easy-to-reach heights, so no one's stretching or bending too much.
It's all about keeping daily tasks doable, from getting dressed to grabbing a glass of water.
Accessible housing for seniors also means thinking ahead. We design with future needs in mind, like adding outlets near the bed for medical devices, just in case. These thoughtful details let residents stay in their homes longer, with confidence and comfort.
Assisted Living Floor Plans at TerraBella Southport
Choosing the right home starts with finding a space that fits your lifestyle, and our assisted living floor plans do just that. At TerraBella Southport, we offer two great options: the Lighthouse Suite at 292 square feet and the Garrison at 527 square feet.
Each is crafted with an apartment design that balances independence with the support seniors might need for daily tasks.
The Lighthouse Suite is cozy but smartly planned. It has a one-bedroom, one-bathroom setup that keeps everything close, so you're not walking far to get from bed to the bathroom or kitchenette.
It's perfect for someone who loves a simple, streamlined space.
The Garrison, on the other hand, offers more room to spread out. With 527 square feet, it gives extra space for:
- Hobbies and crafts
- Guest
- Just a bit more breathing room
Both floor plans include senior apartment features like emergency call systems and easy-to-use climate controls, so residents feel safe and in charge.
What makes our assisted living floor plans stand out is how they fit real life. Need help with dressing or bathing? The layouts make it easy for our caring staff to step in without disrupting your routine.
The kitchenettes are a big hit. Residents can whip up a quick meal or store snacks, keeping that sense of home. Wide hallways and open layouts mean moving around is no hassle, even with mobility aids.
Memory Care Design for Kind Help
For seniors with memory challenges, a well-designed space can make all the difference. Our SHINE® Memory Care program at TerraBella Southport uses memory care design to create apartments that feel safe and familiar.
We offer the Brunswick Suite at 292 square feet and the Mariner at 527 square feet, both built to support residents with care and kindness.
Memory care design starts with clarity. We use simple layouts to help residents find their way easily. For example, the Brunswick Suite keeps the bedroom, bathroom, and living area close together, reducing confusion.
The Mariner gives more space for those who like to move around or have personal items that spark memories. Both include senior apartment features like soft, clear lighting to prevent falls and create a calm vibe.
We also add thoughtful touches. Contrasting colors help residents spot key areas, like the bathroom, without stress. Emergency call systems are easy to find, giving security without being overwhelming.
Our team knows that familiar routines matter, so we design spaces where residents can keep small habits, like sitting by a window or organizing keepsakes.
The SHINE® program pairs these designs with evidence-based care to help residents navigate memory loss. Every detail, from furniture placement to quiet corners, is chosen to reduce anxiety and boost comfort.
