We are proud to be the architect of record for Greece’s new $14.3 million senior-living community. The 66-unit facility is officially open for seniors 62 and older. The nearly 70,000-square-foot community is located on a 4.4-acre site.
There is a mix of 59 one-bedroom units and seven two-bedroom units. Half of the units will serve frail elderly households enrolled in Medicaid. A select group of units are fully accessible and move-in ready for people with mobility impairments and feature lowered countertops and cabinets in the kitchens and bathrooms, and roll-in showers. Three units will accommodate residents with vision or hearing impairments, featuring horn/strobe-light units, doorbells tied to chimes/lights, and visually distinct electrical outlets and switches.
The first floor features a manager’s office, supportive services office, sitting room, computer work stations, community room and patio.
The project meets New York’s Medicaid Redesign Team’s goals by expanding lower-cost community-based supportive housing alternatives to high-cost Medicaid paid nursing home or emergency room care. The project contracts with Rochester Regional Health to refer frail elderly residents to the community.
The site is adjacent to Long Pond Senior Housing, a 54-unit Cornerstone project completed at the end of 2015.
