All of the apartments are accessible and equipped for both sensory and mobility impairments. The living space and kitchen area have the resilient flooring, and the bedrooms have low pile carpeting which creates a smooth and comfortable surface for walkers and wheelers. The kitchens have a sensi-temp stovetop that automatically turn off a burner when it senses it’s been on for too long. Pantry shelves are conveniently located for ease of reach. Peepholes are located at two heights, high and low, to accommodate residents in wheelchairs and those who are not.
This building offers an abundance of natural light in apartments, common areas and hallways. Senior friendly exercise equipment is incorporated in one of the common space rooms. The equipment is situated in the space such that residents will enjoy the amazing views will biking or stepping their way to better health. All of these features allow our residents to age in place and live independently longer.
