Safety as well as style should be considered when looking for housing for your elderly loved ones. It used to be that senior housing use to be a one-size-fits-all type of housing. Now there are several types of senior housing to consider.
More About Senior Apartments
Unlike a lot of nursing homes and senior living housing, most senior apartments are privately owned. Some of them are subject to federal housing guidelines and accept only low income seniors, but most senior apartments offer apartment living and services designed specifically for independent, active seniors 55 and older. Since many of these residences are designed for active seniors, it is likely that meal service, housekeeping or medical assistance is not offered. Since many seniors are independent, they are looking for more than just sleeping quarters in a new apartment.
Features of Modern Senior Apartments
Safety hand rails, wheel chair accessible ramps and pathways and security personnel are just some of the safeguards that are included in modern senior housing today.
Of course, safety is always the main concern when moving your parents into a new senior housing situation, but that doesn’t mean that style needs to take a backseat to efficient lighting and safety handrails.
What New Senior Apartments Offer Today
• Modern carpet, designs and fixtures
• Modern furniture and paint colors
• Upscale kitchen amenities
• Planned apartment settings, like manicured grounds, gardens, golf courses or ponds
• Swimming pools
• Sport courts
• Athletic facilities
New senior apartments today shouldn’t be a place to regress; they should be a place to encourage living and embracing all that life has to offer. Depending on where the senior apartment is located, the apartments blend in well with the scenery and can be quite attractive accommodations. Often times, seniors can have their own gardens, social planners and transportation to take them wherever they wish to go.
If it is time for you to look into senior housing for your parents or perhaps you are looking for more than just an apartment yourself, look around at the wide array of modern choices that now available. After all, these are the golden years!
