Apartment Design for Senior Living at Terrabella Southern Pines

At TerraBella Southern Pines, we understand that a smart apartment design makes a big difference for seniors who want to stay independent and cozy. Our community is in the friendly town of Southern Pines, North Carolina, and we work hard to build spaces that truly feel like home. 

Apartment design isn't just about the basics like walls and floors. It helps with everyday tasks and adds more fun to life. 

We create our apartments to boost freedom, while giving just the right help through our Assisted Living and SHINE® Memory Care choices. Each option has its own building for that extra personal feel, and everyone gets to join our fun lifestyle programs.

Learning About Senior-Friendly Apartment Features

At TerraBella Southern Pines, we include senior-friendly apartment features that fit right into daily life, such as emergency call systems placed in handy spots, like near the bed or in the bathroom. They give quick help with just the push of a button. 

We add personal climate controls, too, so you can set the room to cozy warm or nice and cool whenever you want. Kitchenettes come with each apartment, perfect for a quick snack or cup of coffee without much effort.

These features tie into smart apartment design that boosts comfort every day. Residents tell us how they love grabbing a bite from the kitchenette on their own time. It brings that home feeling back. 

In our Assisted Living options, folks use these setups for simple meals that keep them independent. Over in SHINE® Memory Care, the same elements create calm routines with quiet support. 

We base our designs on what seniors really need, from years of listening and watching what works best. Apartment design like this builds confidence, so you handle your day with less worry and more smiles.

In our community, senior-friendly apartment features are part of every plan, with our team checking in to keep things smooth. Apartment design focuses on real help, turning spaces into spots where seniors stay active and happy.

Using Aging-in-Place Design in Our Suites

Have you heard about aging-in-place design? It means apartments that change with you, so you stay in one spot as life shifts. At TerraBella Southern Pines, our suites use this idea from top to bottom. 

The Holly Suite covers 201 square feet with a snug layout: a bedroom that opens to living space, with a bathroom close by. Doorways stay wide, over 32 inches, for easy movement with walkers if needed. 

The Magnolia Suite adds more at 272 square feet, with room for a table or extra chair, all set up to adapt.

Aging-in-place design plans ahead for comfort

  • We use lever handles on doors
    • Simple for hands that might ache
  • Outlets go higher to skip bending down
  • Floors run smoothly and flat to avoid trips 

In the Holly, the kitchenette fits in a corner to save steps. Apartment design with aging-in-place design cuts down on changes, and families feel good about a steady home.

We add flexible lights that adjust for day or night moods. Warm bulbs create a nice glow, and in the Magnolia, space allows for grab bars that match the look if added later. This setup works for slow shifts, from full freedom to a touch of help. 

In our Assisted Living building, suites link to programs, so you join a class and then head back to your spot. On tours, we show how the flow fits daily habits, like coffee in the morning or rest at night. 

Tips for Assisted Living Apartments to Make Daily Life Comfy

  • The Loblolly at 387 square feet gives room for a desk or puzzle spot
  • The Evergreen two-bedroom at 460 square feet has a guest space

Make sure the features line up with your needs, too.

  • Open plans in Assisted Living mean fewer walls to dodge
  • Set climate zones for sleep or play, like cooler at night

Mix overhead lights with lamps for any hour, to cut eye tiredness from books or shows. Built-ins keep items close, with meds in safe spots, clothes in pull-out drawers. 

Memory Care Layouts That Focus on Feeling Good

What about memory care layouts? We build them at TerraBella Southern Pines with care to help folks feel good. 

The Lakeside suite at 178 square feet makes a cozy area, with items close to build a routine. Paths from bed to bath stay clear for direction, walls in calm tones. The Sandhill at 272 square feet adds a sit spot for quiet or chats, set up safe and warm.

In SHINE® Memory Care, layouts keep things simple with few turns for easy walks. Apartment design cuts extra noise, with soft feels and sun to brighten moods. 

Residents find happy routines, with our team tailoring days. The Palmetto one-bedroom at 387 square feet brings flex, for items that recall good times. 

In Sandhill or Palmetto, there is space for walks or fun that keeps folks busy. Our team links layouts to programs like music or light moves for good feels. Apartment design makes for safe housing for seniors, where joy grows through kind thought.
