For active seniors, a home should be a launchpad for new adventures, not a source of worry. At Connect55+ Communities, we believe true active senior living requires a foundation of thoughtful design. This means proactively creating spaces where residents can live simple and feel secure for years to come. Our commitment is to design communities that eliminate common obstacles, ensuring every resident can pursue their passions freely.

Embracing Universal Design Principles in Every Residence

Designing with accessibility in mind is a core philosophy for Connect55+ Communities. This approach, known as universal design, ensures that features are not just add-ons but are seamlessly integrated into every apartment. Wide, no-threshold doorways and hallways easily accommodate mobility aids, enhancing comfort and dignified movement. This proactive planning helps maintain an effortless lifestyle now and in the future.

Preventing Falls with Key Bathroom and Kitchen Features

The most common household safety concerns are often found in the bathroom and kitchen, and we have addressed these directly. Our bathrooms feature walk-in or roll-in showers with built-in seating, supported by stylishly integrated grab bars. In the kitchen, we ensure lower, accessible counters and easy-to-reach storage. These crucial details allow residents of our 55 plus senior living in Indianola, IA and beyond to perform daily routines with confidence and safety.

The Value of Seamless Mobility Throughout the Community

An active life requires effortless movement from your apartment to social spaces. For residents in our 55 Plus Communities in Indianola, IA, accessibility extends far beyond the apartment door. We ensure all common areas, including fitness centers, community rooms, and outdoor patios, are fully wheelchair accessible. This seamless design encourages regular social engagement, strengthening the connections that are central to our “Live as Friends” philosophy.

Integrating Smart Technology for Enhanced Independence

Modern accessibility goes beyond physical infrastructure; it includes leveraging technology to simplify life. We incorporate features like lever-style door hardware, rocker-style light switches, and high-contrast, non-glare finishes. These features help residents with limited dexterity or vision maintain their independence effortlessly. For us, the goal is always to create a living experience where everything works for you, so you never have to ask for help.
