Do you want to age in place, living out your golden years in your own home? It's a nice idea, but you might have to think again.
According to the AARP, 43% of older adults say they need to change their home to be better equipped for future physical limitations. And 71% need huge and costly projects, such as installing ramps or chairlifts.
If aging-in-place features are what you're after, then forget all that trouble. Instead, come see our apartment design in Newburgh, IN. We at Bell Oaks Place Assisted Living specialize in accessible housing design, as we're an assisted living community.
So read on to see what's in store for you.
You'll have several choices for an assisted living layout since we have three simple floor plans. They are:
No matter which floor plan you choose, you'll get weekly housekeeping service, weekly laundry service, and prompt apartment maintenance. We want you to have a stress-free retirement, and you deserve to expend your energy on tasks you truly care about and love, not chores.
To make it easier on your feet, there's floor-to-floor carpeting in our residences. This also has the added benefit of dampening sounds.
In addition, you'll enjoy a large closet and plenty of storage space. You won't have to downsize much to move into our community; we understand that the things you've accumulated through the years are important to you. You deserve to have all your precious belongings, which is why they'll all fit easily in our cozy apartments.
Also, if you take a closer look at our layouts, you'll realize something: the bathrooms and kitchenettes are grouped together, and that's not by accident. By grouping these things together, it leaves a much larger and more open space for your bedroom and living room.
This has several benefits, the first being that it feels larger than it really is. Plus, it's easier to decorate exactly the way you want it, since there's more flexibility.
Lastly, and most importantly, it's safer. With fewer tight corners to trip and bump into, you can navigate your living space with more confidence. This, in combination with other fall prevention methods, can lower your risk of serious injury.
Whether you've been a lifelong pet owner or are interested in finally getting your first puppy, a very real concern older adults have is whether they can bring their pet to the senior living community they're moving into. The sad thing is that many communities are only worried about their bottom line, which means that they'll ban pets to preserve their properties.
This won't be a problem at Bell Oaks Place Assisted Living, though. We're a pet-friendly assisted living community. Not only is there lots of room for you and your furry companion in our residences, but there's so much more space outside for both of you to play in!
And who knows, you might just run into other seniors who are animal lovers and meet your new best friends.
One of the best perks of living in our retirement community is that we have an elegant dining room with chef-prepared meals. They're made daily with the freshest ingredients, so not only can you have a fun social event eating with friends, but you'll also enjoy delicious and nutritious food.
Not everyone is up for leaving the apartments daily though, and sometimes, all you want to do is eat in the comfort of home's privacy. This is why we have kitchenettes in our residences.
You'll get a refrigerator and freezer, as well as a microwave and some basic appliances (like a toaster). This allows you to either buy your own food or take some back from the dining room, store it in your fridge/freezer, and heat it up whenever you wish. It'll be easy to have a midnight snack too!
Safety for older adults is of the utmost importance. It's all too easy to have accidents and health emergencies, so we've done our best to give you peace of mind.
First of all, there are illuminated apartment entryways. That way, no matter what time it is when you go home, you'll have a clear path into your apartment.
In addition, there are smoke detectors and a sprinkler system throughout the community. According to Rainbow Restoration, there are over 350,000 house fires annually in the US, and cooking is the leading cause of these fires. But with these safety systems, you'll have early detection and protection.
Our apartments let in lots of natural light through our large windows. They also have treatments, which allow you to filter in exact amounts of sunlight.
Plus, there's heating and air conditioning in every residence. Simply turn the dial, and you'll be instantly comfortable.
There's high-speed WiFito connect you to the world fast. And you won't have to go outside to get mail, as every apartment has an individual indoor mailbox.
Outside of your apartment, there's a whole world of amenities waiting for you. To make personal improvements, you can go to the:
Activities in our community include:
There are also outings for shopping, dining, and entertainment!
With our three floor plans, you have just enough choices, but not so many that it's hard to pick an ideal apartment design.
You must have one in mind already, so we'd like to invite you out to our community. That way, you can see it for yourself, as well as how much it's like living in a resort here!
