According to LTC News, over 50 percent of retirees want to downsize to avoid dealing with the upkeep of larger homes. Financial freedom is also a considerable factor in this assessment.
Are you a senior in North Port, FL, thinking about downsizing? The process may seem complex, but it doesn't have to be. By partnering with a community such as Discovery Commons South Biscayne, you can make the transition seamlessly.
Ready to learn more about our apartment design and other features of our assisted living and memory care units? Let's get started.
All our units are senior-friendly layouts, geared toward aging individuals. Every function and feature is designed with our residents in mind.
We offer two types of housing: assisted living and memory care. Each unit type has distinct floor plans with features that depend on the living style.
Interested in assisted living? Choose from five floor plans based on your preferences and size requirements:
Harbor is the floor plan model for our SHINE® Memory Care units. Each unit is a suite design with its own attached bathroom.
The smaller space ensures residents feel comfortable and minimizes confusion. The layout cultivates a safe and enriching space for our memory care residents.
Along with a variety of floor plans to choose from, our units feature many amenities that are designed specifically for seniors aging in place. Our goal is to make life easier for our residents, so they can enjoy all of the amenities that our community has to offer.
For seniors, falls and other medical emergencies can cause serious injury or even death. An accessible emergency call system is a cornerstone of our assisted living apartment design.
Some of the most common accidents seniors may face include:
You won't need to worry about reaching for your cell phone to dial emergency services after a serious accident. With our 24-hour emergency call system, you can receive help quickly.
Just because you want to downsize doesn't mean you have to get rid of all your possessions. Bringing meaningful items is important, especially for memory care residents.
That is why at Discovery Commons Biscayne Bay, we incorporate ample storage space into all of our units. Kitchenettes have cabinets for storing cookware and crockery.
All units come equipped with clothing storage. Our Riverside and Cascade assisted living floor plans even have walk-in closets, so choosing what to wear every day is a breeze, rather than a chore.
A unit designed for seniors doesn't have to sacrifice quality. Our units are made of high-end materials with superior craftsmanship.
Grab bars are essential for seniors to navigate their lives without worrying about accidents or falls. Grab bars are incredibly versatile. They can be made of metal or plastic, and can be installed virtually anywhere.
Some of the most common locations for grab bars include:
All units at Discovery Commons South Bay feature grab bars next to the toilet and in the shower. Our residents can use these to steady themselves or pull themselves up, rather than needing constant assistance.
Showers that promote independence and dignity for residents are a staple of accessible senior housing. The key is to design showers that foster independence while accommodating another person for help if needed.
At Discovery Commons South Biscayne, all of our showers are walk-in and roll-in, with curtains that are easy to move. They are also large enough for an aide to help you if you need showering assistance.
You do not have to worry about overheating in the summer or freezing in the winter months. With in-unit thermostat controls, you can change the temperature to match your preferences.
Although our community offers three delicious meals every day made from scratch, our residents may still require basic cooking functionality. That's why each of our assisted living units comes with a functional kitchenette.
Seniors can cook basic meals on their own, and a full-sized fridge offers plenty of room for storing perishable goods. The streamlined design of the kitchenettes can accommodate those with mobility devices, such as walkers or wheelchairs.
If you want the benefit of carpet without all of the drawbacks, low-pile carpeting is a perfect compromise. It is easy on the feet, but its tightly-woven design makes it ideal for wheelchairs and walkers. It's also easier to clean.
