Assisted Living Units:

As the years pass by, aging for many older persons is characterized by decreasing strength, dwindling energy and diminishing acuity. Yet these people remain healthy and somewhat active. Some have lost their lifelong mates. A large number have forgotten a few basic skills which relate to daily living. They are not incapacitated, but need help with certain things. Living alone becomes more difficult both physically and mentally.

Residential Features Enhance Feelings of Home

People who have drifted into this phase of life are not necessarily ready for long term care or a nursing home. Nevertheless, they could benefit from a less institutionalized form of congregate living. Perhaps they would enjoy a living situation with a private apartment, which offers a personal space where individuality can be expressed and freedom appreciated. A place that equates to home, with opportunities to interact with others, to participate in captivating activities, to engage in stimulating exercise, and to eat healthful, appetizing meals.

“Assisted Living” is a life style concept that addresses these needs. The buildings are residential in style and character, but are grouped in multi-unit complexes, which offer recreational, social, educational and health care options. They express the feeling of home, yet are laid out sensibly with efficiency in mind. Common areas are available for a variety of activities including dining, crafts, sitting, social functions and exercise. A sitting space by each corridor entry facilitates interaction between neighbors.

Units Grouped Close to Activity Area with an Outdoor Walking Path Passing By the Porches

A quaint sitting porch is an adjunct to each living space for outdoor sitting during the warmer months. A walking path winds around the complex and passes by at a comfortable distance. Neighbors can amble by with a friendly greeting, or stop in to chat as the mood prevails. The grounds are landscaped with native vegetation and lofty shade trees which soften the impact of the adjacent streets and neighboring developments.

The design and construction of these buildings is of durable materials that speak quality and charm. There is a warmth being expressed which is reflective of home. Here is an opportunity for aging people to live closely and support each others needs, yet maintain privacy within their own personal apartment. People in this setting are able to continue to enjoy the essence of life as they age gracefully with dignity.
