Two‑Room Suites
& Services
Prefer more room for hobbies, hosting family, or living together as a couple? Our two‑room suites feature a bedroom plus a separate living/sitting room, with half‑bath or full‑bath options. Suites provide:
- Extra space for seating, a small dinette, or hobby corner
- Flexible furniture arrangements and wall art placement
- Emergency call system, cable‑ready connections, and Wi‑Fi
- Room to personalize—without the upkeep of a larger home
Couples accommodation: Many assisted living communities can accommodate couples in the same apartment when care needs align; our two‑room suites are designed with this in mind (final approval based on assessment and safety).
Furnishings
& Personalization
We encourage residents to bring favorite furniture and décor—a beloved chair, family photos, a quilt, or a bookshelf. Familiar items help new residents settle in and make the space truly their own; this is a best practice recommended by trusted senior‑care organizations.
- Bring your own furnishings or request our basic furniture package (bed, nightstand, chair, dresser—based on availability).
- Add personal touches: framed photos, a favorite lamp, keepsakes, and artwork.
- We’ll help with safe placement for pathways, mobility devices, and fall prevention.
Couples Accommodation
Options
Legacy Living welcomes spouses who wish to stay together. Our two‑room suites can comfortably house couples, with space for one larger bed or two twin beds (resident choice), and room to relax side by side. A second‑occupant arrangement is available; our team will walk you through details and assessment guidelines.
Please note: if one spouse eventually needs specialized memory support or a different level of care, we’ll guide your family on options to support safety and continued connection. Many communities manage couples’ needs carefully as they change over time.
