Senior living communities are crafted to ensure a secure and cozy living ambiance for seniors needing aid with everyday chores. Packed with a plethora of services and amenities, these communities are tailored to accommodate the diverse needs of residents.
At Peregrine Senior Living, we ensure that our assisted living communities have all necessary furniture—including a bed, dresser, chair, nightstand, and lamp—that is always available for our residents, as required by New York State. However, we also encourage residents to bring their own pieces if they’d like to personalize their suites and make their spaces feel more like home.
Types of Furnishings in Assisted Living Communities
The assortment of amenities offered in assisted living establishments may differ, influenced by factors such as the size of the facility, its location, and the grade of care available. These amenities often include:
- Bedroom furniture: This typically incorporates items like a bed, mattress, dresser, nightstand, and occasionally, a desk or chair.
- Living room furniture: At Peregrine Senior Living, our living spaces are furnished with the basics like a bed and dresser. Our residents are encouraged to personalize their space with their own furniture, such as a recliner, love seat, or TV stand for that homely feel.
- Communal dining: The majority of assisted living communities feature a communal dining area for social meal times. Our suites have room for a small dining table and chairs, but don’t come equipped considering meals are catered for residents.
- Essential kitchen appliances: Assisted living communities tend to provide essential kitchen appliances such as refrigerators and microwaves. These are for residents to use at their convenience, perfect for whipping up quick meals.
- Window dressings: Assisted living communities mostly provide window dressings like blinds or curtains to ensure privacy and control of natural light.
- Emergency response system: A lot of assisted living communities come with emergency response systems, enabling residents to promptly alert staff during emergencies. These systems may be included in the cost or in some instances, might incur a monthly fee.
Benefits of Furnished Assisted Living Communities
Uncover the myriad of advantages of selecting a furnished assisted living community:
