The decision to move a loved one into an assisted living or memory care community can feel unsettling at first, but any relocation comes with challenges. It’s good to know that they will have choices about their new living arrangements, including different floor plans for their needs. That empowers your family to have a sense of control and, eventually, comfort.
Senior living communities typically have private living spaces for residents and shared indoor and outdoor spaces for dining, socializing, relaxing, and programming. The apartments should be accessible, with features like handrails and grab bars. And unlike many 55+ retirement complexes, residents do not own their apartments—they rent them and benefit from caregiving support and community amenities.
Carrollton Gardens offers private and semi-private senior living apartments, along with memory care companion suites. Our boutique-style setup is different from many assisted living and memory care communities, too. The benefits are considerable, but let’s compare the floor plan options first.
A Sense of Independence: Private Living
Living in private allows seniors to maintain their independence. In a community like ours, residents enjoy their personal space and support services while having access to property amenities. They set their own routines, indulge in personal interests, and make other choices that reflect their preferences. They retain a sense of autonomy that is often difficult to find in other care situations.Compassionate Companionship: Semi-Private Living
In these larger apartment floor plans, seniors share space while still maintaining a degree of separation. They can socialize with a roommate while having their own area, striking a balance that many find appealing. Companion apartments open doors to new friendships and are also ideal for couples. Residents in these environments form bonds with their roommates, reducing feelings of loneliness. Having someone to share experiences with enhances everyday life as these pairs enjoy meals, engage in activities, and explore the community together.What are memory care companion suites?
Designed for those with cognitive challenges, memory care companion suites ensure that residents navigate their environment effectively while having access to necessary support. A significant number of seniors with dementia experience behavioral and psychological challenges, like restlessness, hallucinations, and sleep issues. Sharing their living space with a companion can alleviate these difficulties. These specialized apartments provide plenty of room for two memory care residents; both can benefit from shared experiences and having someone there to reduce feelings of loneliness.The Benefits of Living in Private and Semi-Private Apartments
Let’s face it: Many older adults are not comfortable with companion senior living arrangements. They prefer solitude and not having to interact with others as often. Private apartments are ideal for them; they can socialize with others when the mood strikes. Companion apartments are well-suited for seniors who enjoy having roommates—it’s as simple as that. At Carrollton Gardens, many of our roomies are also besties. Both of these apartment floor plan styles offer senior living community residents similar benefits:- Protected Environment: Private and semi-private senior living apartments provide peace of mind for residents and families. With secured entrances, emergency response systems, and regular monitoring, the environment helps residents thrive without worry.
- Engaging Activities and Opportunities: Living in private apartments in senior living communities also means access to fitness programs, art classes, and other activities. Participating in these events encourages socialization and a sense of community.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Private living options can offer cost-effectiveness for families. The value received often outweighs the expense associated with maintaining an adequate level of care. And with semi-private apartments and memory care companion suites, roommates can share expenses.
