Apartment Design at Aston Gardens in Venice, FL

Thanks to increased life expectancy and the aging of the baby boomer generation, our senior population continues to grow. According to PRB, the number of people older than 65 is expected to increase to 82 million by 2050. Along with the number of seniors in the country, the need for meaningful apartment design in senior communities grows along with it. 

At Aston Gardens at Pelican Pointe, our community is known for its comfort and attention to detail. From thoughtfully designed senior-friendly floor plans to personalized treatment plans, every aspect of our residents' health is taken into consideration. Our residents can find numerous safety features and modern amenities while living in our assisted living apartments in the highly sought-after Boca Raton area, just 25 miles away from Fort Lauderdale. 

This blog will go over why apartment design tailored to the elderly's needs is important for senior living communities in Venice, FL. We'll also talk about what features to look for when researching communities and what you can expect from Aston Gardens at Pelican Pointe. 

Learn About the Importance of Senior Living Apartments 

The goal of senior living apartments is to create a supportive and safe environment for seniors to thrive. Every aspect of the apartment and the entire senior community is chosen with intention. The intention is to do the following:

• Foster independence while offering access to care
• Provide a social environment
• Improve access to healthcare
• Offer maintenance-free living 

Seniors can't access these benefits while living on their own or in a regular apartment complex. Not only do those apartments not come standard with safety features, but they also don't offer the amenities that senior living communities do.

At Aston Gardens at Pelican Pointe, we've developed a community that's focused on elegance without sacrificing practicality. You can find evidence of this through our upscale finishes and safety elements.
