Supporting Independence Through Aging-in-Place Design
At SummerHouse Park Provence, the apartments are planned to give residents a mix of comfort, privacy, and support. The layout and features are built to make everyday tasks easier and safer.
There are three main ways this type of apartment design supports independence:
- Open, accessible floor plans
- Bathrooms designed with safety in mind
- Simple paths that reduce fall risks
Apartment Design: Open, Accessible Floor Plans
Each apartment offers space to move around without tight corners or narrow hallways. It helps residents who use walkers, canes, or wheelchairs.
The living areas connect easily to bedrooms and bathrooms, so residents can go about their routines without added stress. These accessible floor plans help reduce strain on joints and keep everything within reach.
Bathrooms Designed with Safety in Mind
Bathrooms in these assisted living apartments are placed near the bedroom. This cuts down on long trips at night.
The size of the bathroom makes it easier for someone to have help, if needed. Large layouts allow space for mobility aids or a caregiver without feeling crowded.
Simple Paths That Reduce Fall Risks
There are no long hallways or tricky turns inside the apartments. Instead, each living space is built with a smooth, direct layout.
Residents don’t need to worry about tight spaces or hidden steps. These small details add up to safe senior housing that still feels private and personal.
Active Independent Living Floor Plans
SummerHouse Park Provence offers a variety of apartment homes in its Active Independent Living category. Each floor plan is named and detailed with the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage.
St. Tammany
This two-bedroom, one bath layout spans approximately 850 sq ft. It’s one of the larger units in Active Independent Living. Residents who enjoy hosting guests or need more space will find this plan useful.
Camellia

Memory Care Floor Plans and Unit Types
The Memory Care section at SummerHouse Park Provence offers three specialized layouts, each designed for residents with memory-related needs. These floor plans feature a private bathroom and offer varying space to match comfort and care requirements.
The Cypress layout is a single-suite design with a full bathroom in approximately 570 square feet. It provides compact privacy and is suitable for residents needing a balance of personal space and easy access.
The Pines layout is a shared suite of about 605 square feet, with one bathroom. It supports two residents in a shared format while maintaining privacy and a shared living experience.
The Magnolia layout offers about 640 square feet with a full bathroom. It delivers a more spacious one-bedroom suite experience that’s ideal for larger furnishings or mobility needs.
Shared Amenities That Complement Private Spaces
While the apartment design at SummerHouse Park Provence supports private comfort, the shared amenities help complete the living experience. Each resident has their own quiet space, but the campus offers nearby services that add ease and connection to daily life.
These shared spaces are easy to reach from each apartment and are part of what makes the full layout feel complete.
Restaurant-style dining is available right on-site, which means residents don’t have to leave the community to enjoy a warm, balanced meal. The dining room is close to the apartments, so walking to meals is simple and direct.
Residents can enjoy food with friends or family in a setting that feels more like a restaurant than a cafeteria. This setup lets them choose whether they want a quiet meal or a more social one.
For those who like to stay active, the community offers group activities just steps away from their doors. Residents can attend events, classes, or gatherings without needing to go far.
These shared spaces are large and open, making them easy to use for people with walkers or wheelchairs.
