Apartment Design for Senior Living at Victoria Place in Port Townsend
.jpg)
According to the AARP, 75% of American adults over the age of 50 want to age in place. It's a nice idea, living out your golden years in the home you've had for decades. Unfortunately, this isn't always possible, as life often has other plans.
It's common for seniors to experience health issues, and these may lead to the need for professional assistance. If you're one of these older adults but don't want to live in a nursing home, then a great alternative is assisted living in Port Townsend, WA.
One community to consider is Victoria Place. We have the apartment design you require to live a dignified life.
If you're now interested, then keep reading. We have accessible housing for seniors where you'll feel like you're residing in a resort.
Senior-Friendly Layouts in Assisted Living
Residents in our assisted living program will have the choice of two layouts. Whichever of the assisted living floor plans you choose, there are weekly housekeeping and linen services available to help you with daily life. This allows you to truly enjoy retirement and not have to worry about draining chores that prevent you from living life to the fullest.
The first floor plan is Sunflower. This is a cozy studio that totals 300 square feet.
The other is Dahlia, which is a one-bedroom apartment with 405 square feet.
Prime Accessibility With Our Aging-in-Place Design
If you take a look at both of the floor plans, you'll notice they have similar layouts. This isn't a coincidence.
We've grouped the bathrooms and sinks together on one side for better flow. You can move across each space without running into things like walls or furniture.
This open concept has the added benefit of making the rest of the apartment one large area (two if you opt for the Dahlia floor plan). Whether you're completely able-bodied or need a walker or a cane, you can move around freely, with little risk of falling. Not only does this lower the risk of accidents and injuries, but it can also improve your mood, as you won't be grumpy from stubbing your toe or banging your knee.
You'll find that it's easy to decorate, too. The openness means more flexibility and freedom, so you can bring your treasured furniture and decor to fill up the space. You'll really feel right at home when you're done.
Pets Are Allowed
When you go outside for a walk, chances are, you'll see people walking their dogs. Take a look at social media, and you'll see videos and pictures of people playing with their cats or small animals.
Our point is that pets are prevalent in our society, and for good reason. They can provide companionship and combat loneliness and isolation, which older adults are particularly vulnerable to. This means that purchasing a pet for seniors is a good idea, but it's not always practical, considering that many accommodations aren't pet-friendly.
Because of this, you may either be fearful that you'll have to leave behind your current animal companion or apprehensive about allowing a new creature into your life. But at Victoria Place, both worries aren't relevant.
We are a pet-friendly assisted living community since we realize how important it is to have your best friend. Not only can they reside with you in your apartment, but they'll also have plenty of green space outside to get exercise.
Key Apartment Features
You now know that there are two floor plans, but what do the residences feature?
First of all, there's a lot of natural light in the apartments. This can make the space feel bright and cheery, which can uplift your mood and energy. The windows have beautiful trimmings, and there are blinds that enable you to customize how much light is in your apartment at any given time.
There's also plenty of storage space. Wherever you look, there are items like:
- Cabinets
- Cubbies
- Bookshelves
As far as safe apartment features, we provide our residents with a 24-hour response system, as well as fire alarms and sprinklers. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a home structure fire is reported every 95 seconds, so it's essential to have a working fire alarm system. Because you're protected by the fire alarms and sprinklers, there's a lower risk of danger to your life and your belongings.
Our Community Amenities
We aim to give our residents the best in assisted living. So, that means that not only do you have an amazing residence, but also numerous amenities to amuse yourself with.
They are:
- Beauty and barbershop
- Community activity center
- Relaxing lounges
- Media center
- Arts center
- Enclosed courtyard
- Common sitting areas
Not everyone has the energy to cook, and that's okay. Plus, there are hazards associated with cooking, such as cuts from knives and burns from stoves. This is why we pamper our residents with our Elevate dining program.
In our elegant private dining room, you can get fresh cooking from our chefs, who prepare home-style meals every day. You and your friends can enjoy a meal together with little stress, and it'll be tasty and wholesome as well. In addition, it's restaurant-style dining too, so it'll feel like you're in your favorite establishment.
You'll also benefit from a resident-inspired social calendar. And our exercise, fitness, and wellness programs will keep you healthy and strong. We strive to keep the bodies and minds of our residents engaged.
