The 105,000-square-foot building, located on a five-acre site, includes new construction of three structures which are connected by corridors. A three-story structure will house the assisted living and the memory care wing will be located in a single-story building featuring private rooms. The third building will contain administrative offices for staff and activities area, library dining rooms and kitchen for residents.
