Did you know that, according to the AARP, nearly 90 percent of adults over 65 want to remain in their current homes as they age?
This highlights a growing challenge: Many residences lack essential apartment design elements that support comfort, safety, and independence. So, what makes these designs so vital for seniors?
Thoughtful layouts with accessible floor plans and senior-friendly apartment features can reduce fall risks, enhance daily living, and promote aging in place design.
Today, we're taking a closer look at how Morada North Richland Hills incorporates these principles for seniors in North Richland Hills, TX, a peaceful suburban city in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, known for its tree-lined neighborhoods, friendly atmosphere, and easy access to parks, shopping, and healthcare.
The Lakewood Suite is a good choice for residents who want a quiet, simple space. It's designed to be easy to move through and maintain.
The style works well for those who enjoy privacy but don't need a large amount of room. It combines comfort with the right amount of support.
The open layout creates a smooth flow from one area to the next. There's a combined space for sleeping and relaxing, with room for a chair, bed, and small table.
The kitchenette is close by and allows for light meal prep without the extra steps of a full kitchen. Cabinets and counters are positioned at reachable heights to support ease of use.
The bathroom includes a walk-in shower, grab bars, and space for easy turning or assistance if needed. Every part of this layout is planned with aging-in-place design in mind.
There are no steps or tricky corners. That makes it safer and easier to live in, day after day.
The Lakewood Suite uses apartment design to support both independence and safety. It offers senior-friendly apartment features without making the space feel medical or cold. For residents who want to live simply with peace of mind, this layout gives them exactly that.
The Rosewood Suite shares many features with the Lakewood but offers a few unique touches that set it apart. It's a great option for seniors who want a quiet, manageable space that still feels welcoming. This layout supports privacy, safety, and ease of use, all in one open plan.
The main living and sleeping space offers plenty of room for a bed, a sitting chair, and a small dresser or table. The layout keeps everything close but not crowded.
That makes it easier to move around without feeling boxed in. The kitchenette is just steps away and includes storage space, countertop room, and an easy-access layout for snacks or small meals.
One of the best features of the Rosewood Suite is the bathroom. It includes a walk-in shower with grab bars and a wide layout that makes it easier for residents who may need help with balance or mobility. The smooth floors, open layout, and nearby emergency call button support daily safety.
This suite highlights how thoughtful apartment design helps seniors feel more comfortable in their homes. It blends senior-friendly apartment features with a clean, modern look that doesn't feel too busy or cramped.
The Wildewood One-Bedroom offers more room and separation than the suites. There are three main benefits that set this unit apart:
The bedroom is fully separated from the rest of the apartment. It gives residents a quiet setting to rest and makes it easier to keep their sleep space tidy and calm.
The room has enough space for a bed, nightstand, and dresser. This separation supports privacy and makes it easier to settle into a steady daily rhythm.
The living area gives residents space to relax, watch TV, or visit with family and friends. It can fit a small sofa, table, or favorite chair.
The layout supports a range of activities and gives a clear line of movement from one area to the next. The open plan makes the apartment feel larger without adding stress to cleaning or upkeep.
The bathroom includes a walk-in shower, grab bars, and extra space for easy movement. It supports residents with different levels of mobility and makes personal care safer.
