The AARP found that approximately three-fourths of Americans older than 50 want to live in their current home and community for as long as possible. But at the same time, 44% of them expect to relocate at some point.
There are various reasons for leaving your beloved home as a senior, but a huge one is that you need assistance in your daily life. This is why older adults turn to personal care in Latrobe, PA.
We at Barnes Place Personal Care have made our apartment design specifically so that you can age in place comfortably. Interested in hearing more? Then keep reading to see what aging-in-place layout is here for you.
Our accessible personal care housing has four floor plans in total. They are:
You may be concerned about keeping your residence clean, tidy, and safe. The good news is that we're here to pamper you with a weekly housekeeping service. We also provide fantastic apartment maintenance, so if a sink is leaky or a light bulb needs replacing, we'll be there in a hot minute.
In addition, you'll benefit from our weekly laundry service. This will free up your time and allow you to spend more time with friends and loved ones.
There's soft carpeting in the bedrooms that'll cushion your feet, but it's not so long that it's easy to trip over. A bonus is that if you get out of bed in the middle of the night, your feet won't be cold if you can't find your slippers.
There's also a generous closet and storage space, which is essential if you don't want to downsize before moving here. Even if you choose the smallest floor plan, there will be ample space for you to tuck away your treasured items.
The best thing is that if you take a look at our floor plans, you'll notice that they're very simple and uncluttered. The kitchenettes and bathrooms are typically on one side, while the bedroom and living room are on the other.
The above design allows for a roomier feel. Plus, it's easier for those with mobility issues to get around.
Also, the perk of this open-type floor plan is that it enables our residents to truly decorate in their personal styles. The layouts let you place your furniture pieces and other decor in exactly the way you want.
Older adults have specific nutrition requirements, but it can be a challenge to meet them. But our chefs make it a cinch to eat healthy.
You can head down to our elegant dining room, where you can get three freshly prepped meals daily. You can even have your friends join you, so it feels like you're out in a real restaurant.
Otherwise, it's perfectly fine to eat in the apartment. Whether you bring food back from the dining room or you purchase your own items, there's a refrigerator and freezer in your residence to store them in.
You don't have to eat your food cold either. Because our kitchenettes are fully equipped, you can heat up your food in the microwave.
A residence can be comfortable, but safety is what really matters. The CDC says that 25% of older adults report falling every year, but these falls are mostly preventable.
We do our part in decreasing risk and increasing safety in several ways. For example, our safe senior apartments have grab bars in the bathrooms.
The property entryways are also all brightly lit. So whether you arrive home late at night or leave early in the morning, you can clearly see in front of you.
In case of fires, all apartments are also equipped with smoke detectors and sprinklers. You'll know immediately if there's danger of fire, and if it gets bad enough, it'll be doused out quickly to minimize hazardous conditions.
Many older adults face loneliness and isolation, especially if they have health or mobility issues. People may promise to visit them, but promises are often unkept.
This is why it's important to have constant and dependable companionship, and this is possible through a pet. We understand how big a differenceanimals can make in seniors' lives, so we have a pet-friendly personal care community.
Your mental health will be so much better when you can experience your pet's unconditional love every day. And as a result, your overall health will improve too.
In our apartments, you'll enjoy beautifully large windows that let in ample natural light. Of course, if you ever find it too much, you can use the high-quality treatments to adjust the lighting.
Also, every residence has its own heating and air conditioning. The utilities are included in your monthly rent, which means that you don't have to make sacrifices to stay comfortable.
The apartments have individual indoor mailboxes too. You won't have to go far to get your letters, nor will you have to get dressed.
We pride ourselves on offering our residents a resort-like lifestyle. This is why you'll find the following on our premises:
There's a fully-packed activities schedule too. Examples of what you can do include:
We also provide outings for ballgames, shopping, dining, and scenic country drives.
And should you want your loved ones to stay for a few days while visiting, there are guest accommodations based on availability.
