As some locations cater to an elderly demographic, specific paving surfaces were installed to increase mobility around the space and prevent trip hazards. Additional amenities at locations include Bocce Ball, Pickleball, a pool, and outdoor grilling space within extended living spaces.
 
Many properties feature wider and more defined spaces with open sightlines. Memory care properties have an integrated controlled space environment with fencing that is not scalable while being intentional about creating a safe place for residents. Ironwood has gone a step further in the design of “Infinity Paths,” a loop path system, throughout properties, that are beneficial for residents to keep them mobile and boost their memory.

Arbor properties tout elegant apartment living with a modern design enhanced from Ironwoods’ beautiful community spaces and meticulous landscapes that include gardens and outdoor living spaces. Those landscaped areas allow residents to take leisurely strolls on lush walking trails and garden paths.
 
“All of the properties are designed with beauty parlors, gyms, and restaurants,” said Sam Sampson, Ironwood Design Group Partner and Director of Construction Services. “The properties are designed that – as you age – amenities are provided for you, including health care.”
Resort-style pools with built-in ramp access are at every property. Elevated planter boxes also were installed throughout each property for residents to garden from plants with unique scents to trigger the memory.
 
Of importance in the senior living market segment is the ability to age in place while moving through different levels of care: independent and assisted living and memory care. Memory care at Arbor Properties is provided for those experiencing the onset of dementia or Alzheimer’s.
 
Ironwood Design Group produced landscape designs and plant materials that tantalize the senses such as heirloom plants as an opportunity for residents to be reminded of family connections and other nostalgic moments. And, the Arbor Properties are an inviting place for residents’ grandchildren to visit.
 
With assistance from Ironwood Design Group, the seniors at Arbor can lead meaningful lives on properties where the standard is luxury in an environment to grow plants all year round.
 
“All of the properties have different spaces, lots and grades with unique sight conditions, forcing you to think outside of the box,” Sampson said. “We want people to consider, ‘Maybe I could live here.’ “]]>
