Are you struggling with everyday tasks? Do you find yourself forgetting basic facts or what day it is? Have you recently received a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's disease?
If any of the above apply to you, it may be time to consider assisted living or memory care. For seniors in Blue Ridge, GA, looking for extra help or simply wanting to downsize, these types of communities with senior apartment design are a wonderful option.
In this article, we'll explore how accessible senior housing in GA and aging-in-place layouts make it easier than ever for seniors to transition to options such as assisted living or memory care. Let's get started.
At Blue Ridge Assisted Living & Memory Care, we understand that our residents come from various backgrounds and living situations. We offer several different floor plans, both for our assisted living and SHINE® Memory Care programs, to accommodate your preferences and needs, so you'll feel right at home.
Our four assisted living floor plans offer residents flexibility and independence, paired with a scaled-down living space that can support assistance with everyday needs.
While Cedar Suite is our smallest model for our assisted living floor plans, it doesn't compromise on accessibility and style. At 436 square feet, Cedar Suite features a streamlined living and sleeping area with a private bathroom.
If you enjoy smaller living quarters but still seek the privacy of a separate sleeping area, Basswood is an ideal option. This 470-square-foot model features one bedroom and one bathroom, along with a small living room.
Ideal for couples or those who want to have overnight guests, the Sycamore model is our only two-bedroom floorplan, with a spacious 715 square feet. Sycamore has ample room for all of your needs, with a bathroom and living area in addition to two bedrooms.
For those who need more space but still seek the comfort of a single bedroom, the Mahogany plan is an ideal compromise. At 724 square feet, it offers plenty of room for your living quarters, along with a dedicated bedroom for sleeping and a single bathroom.
Our SHINE® Memory Care program offers two thoughtfully designed floor plans that ensure residents' privacy and dignity, even for those requiring additional assistance due to dementia or other conditions.
Our smallest memory care floor plan at 470 square feet, the Oak model offers enough space for all of your needs, without an overwhelming amount of room. Although it is on the smaller side, it still features a dedicated bedroom for sleeping and a living area.
For seniors in memory care seeking more space, Cypress provides the ideal solution. Cypress is 724 square feet, which gives ample space for your possessions and whatever else you need for an enriching and fulfilling lifestyle, even in memory care.
For seniors, accessibility isn't a perk, but a requirement. Without accessibility features, safety may be compromised. At Blue Ridge, all of our floor plans come equipped with the following accessibility features:
Grab bars help our residents maintain stability and provide extra support to promote independence. Bathrooms with grab bars allow seniors to maintain their dignity if they do not need further assistance in the bathroom, and simply require help to navigate to and from the toilet and shower.
Grab bars serve a variety of purposes, including:
Safe senior apartments must accommodate mobility aids, including walkers and wheelchairs. To comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, doors must be at least 32 inches wide when the door is open at an angle of 90 degrees.
Our units also feature sliding pocket doors, making it easy for our residents to move themselves in and out of the bathroom with the use of mobility aids. Rather than having to grab a door handle and pull or push, the pocket door allows for better utilization of space and ease of access.
Common bathroom designs pose many challenges for those with mobility issues, such as:
True walk-in showers allow seniors to navigate every feature with ease and shower independently if they wish. In addition, our showers feature grab bars for an extra layer of security.
Your senior living quarters should not only meet your needs but also provide enjoyment. Resort-style living means that you can relax, rather than worrying about chores such as housekeeping and maintenance.
At Blue Ridge, we pride ourselves on being a pet-friendly community. We're happy to welcome your furry friends so you can enjoy the benefits of a pet or companion animal.
Although most pets are acceptable, please remember that your pets must be trained. Additionally, we do not allow exotic animals.
Whether you're looking to downsize your space or you need certain memory care design features, it is important to have a senior living apartment design that fits your needs. At Blue Ridge Assisted Living & Memory Care, we provide our residents with plenty of options to choose from, so you'll feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
We prioritize the health, safety, and happiness of our residents. With amenities such as Celebrations Activities & Events, Sensations Dining, and Expressions Concierge, our residents maintain a thriving lifestyle focused on senior enrichment.
