A recent nationwide AARP poll of over 3,000 adults revealed that 43% of Americans age 50 and older recognize they'll need to update their homes for safety and accessibility. About as many (44%) expect to relocate to communities better suited to their future needs. These numbers highlight increased awareness among older adults about the importance of creating age-friendly homes and communities.
At Addington Place of Burlington, we understand that apartment design extends far beyond aesthetics. It's fundamentally about enhancing the quality of life for older adults.
Whether you're planning for yourself or helping a loved one explore senior living options, it's important to understand how the right living space can support aging with dignity and ease.
Discover below how our senior community in Burlington designs its senior living apartments to boost residents' independence, safety, and well-being.
Aging-in-place design focuses on creating homes that adapt to changing needs over time. This approach helps seniors stay comfortable in their apartments as their physical abilities evolve. The goal is to prevent the need for frequent relocations due to accessibility challenges.
At Addington Place, our senior apartment layouts are built around ease of use. We take into account the everyday needs of older adults, especially those who may require support with mobility, vision, or cognition.
Key apartment design features include:
The right living environment can make all the difference in how seniors experience their golden years. These aging-in-place features make it easy for residents to move around safely while creating a comfortable and familiar living space.
One of the most important aspects of aging-in-place design is that it allows residents to stay in their apartment even as their care needs evolve. At Addington Place, this concept is supported through round-the-clock care and flexible service options.
Our assisted living option includes help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and more. Residents receive only the assistance they need while continuing to enjoy their private, well-designed space. This living arrangement strikes the perfect balance between privacy and available support.
We also offer:
All of this allows seniors to focus less on chores and more on what brings them joy -- hobbies, friendships, and wellness.
Our assisted living spaces are designed for both safety and comfort. Every apartment features a private bathroom, kitchenette, and cozy living area, perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests. Residents can choose from a variety of accessible floor plans, including one-bedroom and suite apartments.
The design of these spaces supports the services our care team provides. When residents need assistance with daily tasks like dressing or medication management, caregivers can work efficiently in well-planned spaces. This efficiency means more quality time for personal interaction and less time struggling with awkward layouts.
In addition to the built-in safety elements like non-slip flooring and lever-style door handles, the apartments are located within easy access to community features, including:
These additions make it easy for residents to enjoy a balanced lifestyle that supports their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Residents also enjoy access to vibrant services and amenities that bring comfort and connection into daily life. These include:
The blend of private space and shared community areas gives residents the best of both worlds -- peace and privacy when desired, and social interaction when wanted.
