Dining Community
Dining in senior living is all about choice. Taking a note from the hospitality community, dining in senior living communities has become an experience. Cafes, beautiful formal and casual restaurants and coffee shops boast farm-to-table offerings and chef-developed dishes. Kitchens here are locales where excellent chefs have cooking classes for residents and guests. Senior living communities are creating themed dining experiences and outdoor dining options, featuring distinctive menus. Casual dining venues include intimate small group seating and bistros with bar and counter height seating support the new social level of dining in senior living.
Common Community
Common in senior living communities is the common area. People are social and enjoy the company of others so common areas have grown in popularity over the years. They include lounges with luxurious wingbacks, love seats and sofas suitable for conversation, watching television and day planning. Game rooms are also more common in senior living. There is a competitive spirit in the community. Residents and their guests gather for bridge and other card games. Communities offer a number of clubs, exercise opportunities and creative art studios. Movie night has seen the rise of theaters outfitted with comfortable lounge seats with attached tray tables, cup holders and ottomans.
Connecting Community
Connecting the buildings on a senior living community with indoor hallways wide enough to accommodate benches, wheel chairs and walkers is important. This resident-centered design feature makes it possible for residents to move effortlessly to meals, events and visit neighbors with ease. Residents use these walkways to rack up daily fitness steps. Seniors do not have to be concerned about inclement weather because the temperature is always constant and the atmosphere is always friendly in these connected hallways.
