According to the AARP, 75% of adults 50 and older want to remain in their current homes as they age. It's important to be somewhere familiar and comfortable in your golden years, but unfortunately, there are many barriers to aging in place, including accessibility, costs, and technology barriers.
One fantastic solution is to move into assisted living, which we offer at Morada Quintessence in Albuquerque, NM. The apartment design here gives seniors comfort-focused living spaces that feel almost exactly like home, but better. Our aim is to provide a resort-like feel so you're pampered!
So what can you expect from our assisted living apartments? Read on to find out.
There are four senior-friendly layouts here in our community. They are as follows:
All residences have premium finishes for elegant living. And despite their coziness, there's ample storage and living areas. You'll be able to bring all your belongings and decorate exactly the way you wish.
More importantly, we've utilized an aging-in-place design. According to PM&R Knowledge NOW, older adults older than 65 are four times more likely to use a wheelchair than younger adults.
We have wheelchair-accessible homes, halls, and entryways, so you never have to worry about getting in and out of your apartment, as well as the rooms inside. We strive to aid your mobility.
In addition, you deserve to live out an easy retirement, which is why we have weekly housekeeping, laundry, and linen services. You won't have to lift a finger to have a spotless living space.
We also have comprehensive maintenance of not only your apartment, but also the community and the grounds. Should anything go wrong, there are on-call repairs available.
On our premises is a restaurant-style dining room that has tableside service too. You can head over whenever you wish for three daily chef-prepared meals that are made from scratch, as well as snacks and beverages.
In fact, you can even meet up with your friends here, and it'll be the same as having an off-site meal! It'll feel like you're dining out in your favorite restaurant.
But if you enjoy preparing your own food, this is possible in your residence too. Each floor plan has a kitchenette.
You can stock your refrigerator with your own food, or you can bring it back from the dining room. Either way, you'll have hot food at your convenience.
According to Mission Health, around 80% of falls in the home for seniors occur in the bathroom. But there are several ways to make this room safer, which we've done for our residents.
For one, it's very generously sized. This reassures older adults that they can maneuver themselves safely and comfortably.
In addition, we have walk/roll-in showers. These allow seniors of all mobility levels to get in and out of the showers easily.
We also have safety-assist handrails in the bathrooms. That way, you won't overexert yourself, and they'll minimize your risk of falls too.
Many of us have pets since they bring great joy to our lives. Not only that, but they provide us with unconditional love when we most need it.
This is very beneficial for seniors, as they're often isolated, lonely, and depressed as a result. If you have a pet, or have had one before, then you'll know just how much light they can bring to your life.
You shouldn't have to give that up when you move into assisted living, which is why we're a pet-friendly community. Animals are welcome in our spaces, which can then drastically improve your quality of life.
Are you wondering what other residential amenities you'll get? Here are the main ones you'll benefit from.
The first is an individual thermostat control. Whether it's a chilly winter or a blistering summer outside, you won't have to suffer indoors. It's completely up to you how hot or cold you want your apartment, and no one else has a say.
Also, for your safety, there are smoke alarms and a sprinkler system. At the first sign of a potential fire, the alarms will let you know, and the sprinklers will douse any flames to prevent harm to you, your pets, and your things.
Lastly, you have the option to add cable or satellite TV to your home. This is perfect for older adults who like to keep up-to-date with the latest films and TV shows.
Our apartment design is amazing enough that you could stay in your residence 24/7 if you wanted. But why should you do that? There are so many other things waiting for you here, like:
There are also various activities available for you in our community. They include:
We're focused on making your life enriching and satisfying. For example, if you wanted to practice mindfulness for depression, we have experts who can tailor their classes to help you out.
Regarding our apartment design, there's only so much you can get from reading words, even if we do our best to describe our residences. What you need to do is come visit us, as then you'll get a real feel for what could be your new home.
Plus, you can tour the premises and see what daily life is like here. We'll bet that you'll see a lifestyle that completely fits with your idea of an excellent retirement!
