Age-related changes to the eyes sometimes make it difficult for seniors to distinguish one color from another, so we selected a color palette that provides high contrast and is easily discernible even to those with diminished vision. Patterns and fabrics were given careful consideration as to their scale and clarity.

Colors have been shown to produce distinctive psychological responses in people, so we utilized this knowledge in our personal care home design scheme. Because we understand that seniors often feel cold, colors were chosen specifically to create a sense of warmth.
Dining rooms and community activity rooms use bolder, more active colors which help stimulate appetite and energy levels.

One of the most common visual changes that occur among seniors is that the pupils of the eye become rigid and lose their ability to constrict and dilate. This creates a need for higher light levels and sensitivity to glare. We have addressed these issues in several ways with our senior living design throughout the facility.

• Lighting fixtures (LED) were selected so that the light source is always hidden and glare is eliminated.
• All our lighting fixtures provide up-lighting which casts the light upward onto the ceiling and upper walls, maximizing light reflectance without creating a source of glare.
• Upper walls and ceilings are all light in tone to maximize light reflectance.
• High gloss surfaces were avoided in flooring and counter materials to minimize glare, as well as risk of falls.

Country Care Manor’s senior living design provides a sense of openness to the outside world along with safe, home-like security.

Elderly residents may feel isolated and abandoned in facilities that are too large or too small. Our home is large enough to provide many options to make dear friends but small enough that residents do not feel isolated.

Country Care Manor’s design affords maximum independence for seniors. We understand that freedom and independence are some of our resident’s most cherished values. We encourage them to retain their autonomy for as long as possible.

Country Care Manor’s interior design selected furniture do not only create a beautiful, comfortable, home-like environment, but also support the physical changes that accompany the aging process.

• Seating throughout the facility has sturdy arms and firm, high seats which assist older people in rising from a seated position.
• Dining chairs are light enough to move easily, but do not have casters, which can be extremely dangerous to elders.
• Dining tables are extremely sturdy, which allows residents to lean on the table edge to assist in rising without fear of the table tipping.

Most importantly, Country Care Manor provides a sense of welcome and belonging, which is fundamental to quality of life. Our senior living design has many amenities that help our place become home to our residents.

• Wonderful indoor activity spaces
• A beautiful country setting with its pleasant atmosphere encourages mingling outdoors among residents.
• The library is stocked with classic books, condensed novels, and large-type books to enable residents to continue to enjoy literature.
• The TV viewing area provides a great space for enjoying group movies and sharing televised events.
• Residents are encouraged to participate in our active recreational program which includes many options to satisfy a wide range of interest

While maintaining our residents’ privacy, Country Care Manor’s Personal Care Home design provides a safe and secure place to live.

While our residents often become like family to one another, we have designed Country Care Manor to be a home where our residents may enjoy with their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and friends. Our senior living design is family-friendly.
