Senior Apartment Design in Lewisville, TX: Features That Matter

In 2023, three of the top ten cities in the U.S. that saw the most retirees move in were in Texas, as reported by KXAN. Those of us living in Lewisville understand why. With safe neighborhoods, outdoor recreation, unique shopping, and a convenient location only minutes from DFW airport, Lewisville has something to offer year-round.

When you're looking for a senior living community in Lewisville, the apartment design details matter. You want a community that will enhance your quality of life as you age.

Discovery Village Castle Hills offers apartment homes that will meet your needs and excite your wishes. Learn more about our community and how to find the right home for you.

Key Features of Aging-in-Place Floor Plans

An accessible apartment layout is essential for senior living. Open floor plans facilitate movement, including with a walker or wheelchair.

A combined kitchen, dining, and living area is easier to navigate. You have a better line of sight for everything going on around you and don't need to rely solely on hearing, which can deteriorate with age.

Another important feature of an accessible apartment layout is having wide, unobstructed corridors and doorways. Any hallways inside the apartment are short, so one living space flows easily into the next.

Independent Living Apartments at Discovery Village Castle Hills

You'll find a full range of floor plans in the independent living apartments at Discovery Village Castle Hills. Our 17 options include models with one bedroom and one bathroom as well as two-bedroom, two-bathroom plans. They range in size from a cozy 658 square feet to a spacious 1,305 square feet.

Some apartments have a covered patio with views of the pool or courtyard.

Our independent living design includes every detail. You'll enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including a built-in microwave and flat cooktop. Kitchens and bathrooms have granite countertops and cabinets that are built to last.

Each apartment home has a washer and dryer for your convenience. You can control your own heat and air conditioning, so you can stay comfortable no matter the weather.

Finally, you'll appreciate the durable faux-wood floors in the living areas. These surfaces are easy to clean and help prevent falls.

Assisted Living Design

Assisted living apartments are coming soon to Discovery Village Castle Hills. The new community will feature 90 assisted living and memory care apartment homes. You have three options for floor plans:

• One bathroom suite
• One bedroom, one bathroom
• Two bedroom, one bathroom

The square footage ranges from 421 square feet to 703 square feet.

Our assisted living interiors feature high-end touches, like stainless steel Energy Star appliances. The kitchens and bathrooms have quartz countertops and white cabinetry. Most apartments have a walk-in closet.

You'll appreciate accessibility features like roll-in showers and a built-in recessed niche shelving system.

Memory Care Apartments

Our memory care housing features are designed to meet our residents' specialized needs. We're currently pre-leasing one-bathroom suites and one-bedroom, one bathroom floor plans.

Unlike some senior living communities that house memory care residents in shared suites, the apartments at Discovery Village Castle Hills allow residents to maintain their privacy. This helps prevent residents from feeling overwhelmed by too many people and too much activity.

Floor plans are easy to navigate. With its combined living room and bedroom, our suite floor plan reduces the areas that could create disorientation. The one-bedroom apartment provides a familiar, homelike environment.

Like our assisted living apartment homes, the memory care apartments have high-end touches like:

• Stainless steel appliances
• Quartz countertops
• White cabinets

Interior Apartment Design

After you choose a floor plan that fits your needs and budget, you can start making it feel like home. Residents at Discovery Village Castle Hills are encouraged to personalize their living space. We even offer complimentary interior decorating services.

Choose meaningful possessions to display, like:

• Family photographs
• Travel souvenirs
• Artwork

If you have a hobby like woodworking or quilting, you can use your favorite pieces as decor.

The apartments at Discovery Village Castle Hills are well-lit, with:

• Natural light
• Modern fixtures
• Recessed lighting

You may want to add options like lamps, string lights, or battery-powered candles to create different moods. Be sure that cords are out of the way, though, to avoid any trip or slip hazards.

You can express your individuality and brighten the community for everyone by decorating your door. You can change the decor for seasons and holidays or create a more timeless display.

Decorating for Memory Care

Personalization is especially crucial for memory care residents. Meaningful decor and photos:

• Help with memory recall
• Promote a better mood
• Support feelings of familiarity in the home

Decorating the front door helps people identify their apartments.

A large-text digital clock with the time, date, and day of the week can help your loved one with time orientation. If you add lamps to the living space, look for circadian smart bulbs. You can program these light bulbs to deliver light that supports sleep and wakefulness at the appropriate times.

Community Areas

Community areas are a key part of life at Discovery Village Castle Hills. Your living space extends to include shared areas for:

• Organized activities
• Social gatherings
