Starting the search for an assisted living community is a big step. However, choosing the right community makes a significant difference. You’ll want to find a place that truly suits your loved one’s needs. And that starts with the living space, including the physical layout and floor plan.

Assisted living rooms should feature thoughtfully designed layouts. There should be built-in safety measures, essential services, and opportunities for personalization. Your complete checklist for the right room will depend on your needs and wants.

Together, these features make the room and community feel like home.

Typical Assisted Living Room Layouts

The layout of an assisted living room is more important than most people think. You’ll want a community that offers a comfortable, functional space. That’s why we offer options at The Athenaeum by Peregrine Senior Living.

Residents can choose standard furnishings offered by the community or personalize their space with their own furnishings and decor.

Our private rooms are an excellent option for residents who value privacy and personal space in a simplified layout. These rooms include various features that promote both independence and comfort.

We also provide:

  • 24-hour emergency call system 
  • Weekly housekeeping & laundry services
  • Personalization options for residents
  • Convenient on-site amenities

Companion Rooms

Companion rooms offer a shared living experience, perfect for those who prefer not to make the transition to assisted living alone. These rooms are also a great option for couples who wish to continue living together while receiving the support they need.

Companion rooms offer:

  • Built-in privacy considerations
  • Wide-chambered bedrooms
  • 24-hour emergency call systems
  • Weekly housekeeping & laundry services
  • Personalization options for residents
  • Convenient on-site amenities

Amenities Offered in Assisted Living

The room layout isn’t the only thing that matters. The amenities offered by the future community are just as essential. Ideally, a community should offer amenities and services designed to make everyday life more comfortable and convenient for your loved one.

No matter what room option your loved one chooses, our community offers a variety of key amenities.

  • Dining spaces designed to foster conversation while enjoying nutritious meals

These comfortable areas are excellent places to reflect and socialize with others.

Helping Residents Feel Their Best

Supporting overall wellness is as vital as providing a safe living environment. That’s why we offer extra services to residents. Here in our community, residents can benefit from:

  • An on-site beauty salon & barber shop where they can unwind & treat themselves
  • Scheduled group exercise classes & programs tailored to foster mobility & strength
  • Nutritious, chef-prepared meals served in an elegant dining area

These work together to make a healthier lifestyle even easier to achieve.

Essential Support Services

Assisted living should be about joy, comfort, and convenience. That’s why we offer services designed to support your loved one every day and lessen their burdens. Our services promote convenience, so older adults can thrive and focus on what matters most to them.

These support services include:

  • Weekly housekeeping services to keep living spaces clean & inviting
  • Laundry & linen services so that residents always have fresh clothing & bedding
  • Medication management & assistance with daily living activities

🇺🇸 A big shout out to all those staff and volunteers who made this July 4th one to remember.

🇺🇸 We enjoyed a discussion group with a local History teacher on The American Revolution and famous faces of that time period. We got to watch a few of our younger volunteers drawing chalk pictures on the sidewalks for us and we could not resist a few sing-a-long songs to some of our favorite patriotic tunes.

🇺🇸 Thought of The Day: What memory or experience makes you feel the most patriotic?

🇺🇸 We hope your holiday was as memorable as ours was.

🇮🇹 It’s never a bad idea to circle back to Italy in our travels around the world. Reminiscing about each others trips, discussing culture, current events and topography.

🇮🇹 Nicole’s dishes never disappoint, as she served authentic Italian cuisine with Italian music and a dry red wine that paired well with the fresh pasta from a local market.

🇮🇹 Italian fact of the day: Italy became a unified country of its own in 1861.

We took the break in the rain as an opportunity to release our butterflies. ⛅️

The butterflies were very excited to be in the fresh air and quickly spread their wings. 🦋

I think it’s safe to say a program was a success when you hear someone say “I have not touched a butterfly since I was a child”. ⭐️
