Gone are the days of overstuffed cushioned sofa’s and antique sideboards, claw-foot tables and press backed chairs. Welcome to the new and stylish contemporary design of Senior Living Communities across the US. Seniors are loving it! Whatever the motivation to move from a home to a senior living community, seniors are attracted to communities elegantly designed and well cared for.
Comforts of home may not transition well
Believe it, or not, some of the old comforts of home can actually hinder the physical capabilities of an aging body and create the need for a move. Overstuffed sofas can prevent an older person with an existing back problem from getting up off a sofa. Toilets too low, without the extended heights can also be problematic when going from a sitting to a standing position. Steps can be cumbersome for seniors with knee or arthritic conditions. Creating the right environment using comfortable senior living furniture can help make the right impression.
Safety as big a factor as style in Senior Living Design
Style and safety play a big part in the planning of any senior community, and designing safe senior living environments helps make a great first impression with new residents. From to ranch style single floorplans to lifts in swimming pools, everything from safe senior living furniture to flooring is considered. As residents age, diminishing eyesight and strength and fall frequency are crucial considerations when choosing which comforts of home make the transition to senior living environments. Integrated design can benefit the whole campus from Independent Living to Memory Care. It can change the quality of life for residents no matter what stage of acuity they may be experiencing.
Seniors are more aware in the right design
You are as young as you feel and seniors today want to live with more amenities to keep them feeling younger. Seniors today are much more aware of their health and wellness, so properly crafted spaces can enhance the safety while adding the design aesthetic that keeps them happy.
