There are so many senior housing options out there that when you start investigating them, the names can be very confusing. Senior independent living apartments are private homes for older adults that are part of a purpose-built community. Residents live independently, but still have access to a wide range of amenities and certain assistance.
At Ventura Place, we have four accommodation options that make up our senior independent living community.
Our apartments come in two styles: suites and one-bedroom units. Our suites are cozy and comfortable, with living, dining, kitchenette, and patio areas for a comfortable retirement. Our one-bedroom apartments feature a separate bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
We also offer two outstanding two-bedroom cottages - Live Oak and Juniper. Both offer elevated living spaces, and Juniper includes a full-size kitchen and garage.
Their large footprints make downsizing a breeze.
Our independent living apartments and cottages are designed with senior safety in mind, without compromising on style. Carefully positioned grab bars make it safe to use the bathroom, as do walk-in showers or tubs. Everything is on one level, so there are fewer fall hazards.
However, this is your home, and you can personalize it with your own furniture and decorate it to your taste.
Having close access to Lubbock is great, but that doesn't mean that our residents necessarily want to go out for all their daily needs and socializing. That's why we offer a range of carefully curated services on-site, providing a supportive lifestyle without compromising autonomy.

We also help you to stay connected with your family and friends by making it easier for them to visit. Our guest suites provide on-site accommodation to make family time more convenient - perfect for seniors moving from out of the area.
As the name suggests, independent living communities like Ventura Place are for older adults who are still independent. They may have some aches and pains, but overall, they are in good health and are able to care for themselves in their own homes. However, they enjoy the reassurance of knowing that help is at hand 24/7 and the joy of being part of a vibrant senior community.
Assisted living is different; it provides tailored care services to seniors who have challenges with some daily living activities. Many residents may also have significant health conditions. According to the National Center for Assisted Living, common health challenges for seniors in assisted living include:
The largest age group in assisted living is aged 85 and over. So if you still enjoy relatively good health and do not yet need personal care assistance, senior independent living will likely be the right choice for you.
At Ventura Place, we provide access to all the great amenities discussed above. However, there are a few extra perks that set us apart from the rest.
These include:
Everything in our community is intentionally designed to let seniors enjoy a relaxed, supportive lifestyle without the worries that come with aging in place.
