Home is where we feel at peace. It’s where we spend time with family and friends and where we long to be when we’re away. As we get older, downsizing begins to make more sense, but it doesn’t have to mean losing that sense of home or leaving your life behind. Making the move to an assisted living or memory care apartment can be a welcome change by removing the burden of costly home repairs and making life easier. An added bonus is that you get to design the perfect new living space!
Your New Home, In Style
What’s most important in finding your new home is that it feels just as secure and welcoming as your old one.

We offer a modern and upscale environment where you can create a living space that’s truly you.

Making Your Space Feel Like Home
No matter the circumstances, leaving a long-time home and downsizing can be an emotionally overwhelming process. Make the move more manageable by decorating and organizing the space to be comfortable and easy to navigate. Furniture and household items should be easily accessible and accommodate mobility issues.
When determining what to bring, it’s important to incorporate sentimental as well as necessary items. That family photo you love, the heirloom you cherish, and the quilt that’s been passed down for generations will make your home feel cozy and warm.
Though it may seem stressful to tackle, decluttering and relocating can be an exciting time. Donating items you no longer need or want and removing the burdens of housekeeping and maintenance ease the stress of making a big life change. Designing a space that’s just the right fit is like a sigh of relief! When making your plans, consider the following:
Room layout:
- Think about the furniture needed for the size of the space you choose.
- Place furniture for optimal mobility.
- Decide which electronics to bring (TV, computer, etc.).
- Create designated hobby and workspace areas.
- Divide living and sleeping areas to make the space feel larger.
Décor:
- Bring plenty of photos of family and friends.
- Utilize decorating tips for small spaces like using neutral colors in living spaces, keeping colors cohesive, and adding colorful accent pieces.
- Use mirrors and artwork to create separation and make the space more engaging.
- Add details like throw pillows, area rugs, and comfy throws for the sofa.
- Add some greenery with low-maintenance houseplants.
