Design Matters: Creating Senior Living Spaces That Inspire Joy at Every Age

Allegro Content Partner
creating senior living spaces

Transitioning to a senior living community can be a significant change, especially when it comes to adjusting to a new environment and smaller living accommodations.

Today’s seniors expect these communities to provide convenience, premier services, and beautifully designed living spaces in a socially active environment.

To meet the needs of Boomers entering senior living, communities are thoughtfully designing environments where residents can thrive and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle.

In this article, we’ll explore how senior living communities utilize intentional design to enhance beauty, comfort, social connections, and joy for their residents.

Beautifully Designed Residential Apartments

It’s essential for senior living residents to have a living space that provides privacy, comfort, and a sense of home.

Providing a variety of spacious floor plans that include modern appliances, functional layouts, and pleasing colors allows residents to create a beautifully designed senior living apartment.

Safety Features

Resident safety is paramount in senior living communities. Safety features such as roll-in showers, handrails, ramps, well-lit rooms, non-slip flooring, and emergency call systems throughout the community ensure resident safety.

Luxury Amenities

Luxury senior living communities, like Allegro Boynton Beach, provide an upscale resort-style environment with a variety of convenient onsite amenities.

These thoughtfully designed features encourage activity and enhance the quality of life for residents:

  • Pool & Cabanas
  • Hot Tub
  • Steam Room & Sauna
  • Movie Theater
  • State-of-the-art fitness center
  • Bar & Bistro
  • Beauty Salon & Barbershop

Technology & Smart Design 

Senior living communities incorporate technology into their living spaces to enhance residents' overall experience by improving community functionality.

For example, Innovative communities like Allegro utilize technology features like their connected living mobile app, digital signage, video conferencing, and live streaming to help residents stay connected with one another, their loved ones, and Allegro staff.

In addition, voice-controlled devices, smart lighting systems, automated blinds, and medical alert systems enhance the convenience and safety for residents.

Social Connection

One major benefit of living in a senior living community is the abundance of opportunities to meet and connect with others.

Activity rooms, event spaces, and common areas are designed with vibrant colors, creative furniture arrangements, and layouts that support a variety of activities, clubs, and group discussions.

Memory Care Design

Memory care communities are designed to accommodate the unique needs of people with Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia. In addition to additional safety features, these communities provide a compassionate and supportive environment for residents and their families.

Allegro’s Ensemble Memory Care Program offers design features such as a dementia supportive floor plan with an outside sensory garden, life skill centers, thoughtfully planned resident suites that encourage self-sufficiency, abundant natural light, and warm neutral tones that appeal to people with dementia.

Relaxing Outdoor Spaces

Beautiful and functional outdoor spaces, such as walking trails, dog parks, courtyards, and botanical gardens, give residents opportunities to enjoy the physical and mental benefits of nature.

Many senior living communities create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living with patios, waterfront view dining, outdoor dining spaces, and outdoor fireplaces.

The Joy of Living Beautifully

Selecting a senior living community that brings joy involves a variety of different factors. It’s about finding a vibrant environment with interesting people, where you feel safe, valued, and supported.

From our signature programming, exquisite dining experiences, wellness programs, and beautiful living accommodations, we design communities where our residents' experiences are nothing short of amazing.
