Moving can sometimes be a hassle, so it’s important to make sure that one does their research before deciding to move into senior housing in Palm Beach County, Florida. There are many options of housing available, and it would be expensive to keep moving for reasons such as not being comfortable with the layout or the cost. To avoid this, make sure that you first pick a senior living community that has a lot to offer, and then pick the type of housing ideal for you or your loved one.
The difference between most apartments lies in size. Some of the common features that you should look for in ideal senior housing include spaciousness, excellent lighting and fixtures as well as amenities such as handrails and anti-slip tiles. Emergency buttons in areas such as bathrooms and bedrooms can also come in handy in case of a problem. Other features include climate control for each room, fully furnished rooms and open concept designs which emphasize roominess and the presence of natural lighting throughout the apartment. This makes the apartment feel comfortable. Independent living guests may also have washers and dryers in case they prefer doing laundry themselves, as well as spacious closets. The main types of senior housing plans you will come across include:
Two-Bedroomed Apartments
You can find two-bedroomed apartments which have a kitchen and living room, a master bedroom and an extra bedroom. This type of home is excellent for seniors who might be interested in living together. An example is a couple who might need separate bedrooms for medical reasons, such as if one may need the bed to be in a recumbent position which the partner might find uncomfortable. In this case, the extra bedroom can act as a space for the partner to sleep soundly. The extra bedroom is usually self-contained and exquisitely furnished without being too brash.
One-Bedroomed Apartments
Single bedroom apartments are usually affordable compared to the two bedroomed ones. However, this does not mean that you don’t get the same level of equipment and excellent design. They still have a lot of space and lighting, quality furnishing and presence of appliances such as washers, dryers and kitchen appliances. There are various floor plans for one bedroomed apartments available. These include those that have a self-contained bedroom as well as a guest washroom and bathroom. The latter is usually not present in all one bedroomed apartments. This type of apartment is ideal for the individual who wants to live alone and does not want that much space. They are also ideal for couples who don’t need a second bedroom.
Studio Suites
Studio apartments might seem like an odd choice for senior living, but it’s an excellent choice for some people particularly when you see them. They are usually well-designed, with clear demarcations for the kitchen, living area and bathroom. Most also have patios or verandas with many natural plants and features. These types of apartments are well-appointed, with high quality fittings, furniture and appliances. The kitchen, living room and bathroom spaces are usually sizeable, so the apartment feels large even if it’s a studio apartment. This is also ideal for seniors who want a compact yet spacious living space.
