Today’s seniors can match the community to the lifestyle and care that fits their needs instead of just whatever’s available. The model for retirement has shifted from “housing” to socialization and lifestyle. So, what’s the difference between an innovative senior living residence and “just a nice apartment building”? 

One thing that all retirement communities – Independent Living, Personal Care and Memory Care – have in common is the objective to free the resident from the burdens and limitations of the traditional single-family home. Meals and grounds maintenance are two obvious items. A communal dining room with an Executive Chef handling all meal prep, operates much like a restaurant with the addition of a licensed nutritionist – not merely for convenience, but to bring residents out of the apartment and into contact with others. Designed walking paths, gardens and landscaping are made to be used. Beautiful, yes, but just as important to a holistic approach to wellness. So, there’s more than meets the eye in thoughtful residence planning. 

Community designs diverge to accommodate care. Legend Senior Living®, a provider headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, developed their concept of “purposeful design” to address specific lifestyle needs. The main objectives are independence, dignity and purposeful living. For this reason, most of the company’s properties are built from the ground up, using the proprietary Assistive Architecture™ to ensure that the amenities support the company mission and philosophy. Life Enrichment Coordinators use spaces to their advantage in creating social events. Every element encourages socialization and friendship as a part of care, right down to the post office. In Personal Care and Memory Care residences, you’ll notice the expansiveness, both in wider halls for wheelchair traffic, in the natural lighting, open commons areas and modern, comfortable furniture arranged for conversation. Even wall color and floor coverings are carefully chosen. Such environmental details are particularly important, even critical, in Memory Care residences where independence and circulation are encouraged, balanced with the well-being of the resident. For example, a circular building design promotes walking but avoids hard corners and keeps the resident from becoming disoriented. 

At Legend at Silver Creek, these are just the basic elements of purposeful design, which is just one foundational dimension of the function of the residence. Levels of care, programs and therapy are another. Life Enrichment programs for vibrancy and activity are yet another. And, on top of that, the residence must function as a self-sustaining neighborhood, for recreation, grooming, entertainment, pet ownership, intellectual growth, personal services and transportation. To the resident and visitor, the ideal purposeful design will be transparent. But seeking out the right residence should be to look for and appreciate for the quality of its design.
