Emeritus at Reno Our senior community is designed with four memory care “neighborhoods,” each with 13 small private studio apartments. Most have views of the courtyard; some with views of the golf course. Each apartment includes a bathroom (no shower for safety reasons), cable access, individually controlled temperature and air conditioning and emergency call buttons. The rooms are small and intimate. Residents are welcome to create their own personal space by decorating their studios anyway they wish. They also have full access to the neighborhood’s own living room area, dining room and kitchen and can wander into the other three neighborhoods whenever they wish. In the center of the community is our Town Square, with a wellness center, private dining room, group activities room, a beauty salon, and our community center. The Town Square offers many large windows looking out onto the secured courtyard area. Each neighborhood entrance is located in the Town Square and offers a sitting area with something different that invites engagement – a beautiful fish tank, a piano, a slot machine and in another, stuffed animals and a dollhouse. This is very much a place for residents to observe the world around them, just like if they were in the park, sitting on a bench. This unique set up – with small private rooms, individual neighborhoods and a central Town Square – creates the feeling of a small community within a town and gives residents the personal space they need, while encouraging them to engage with others. Visitors also often remark upon how cheerful, bright and clean our community is.
