In order to create an updated and more private recovery environment for short-term stay patients, Covenant Living of Northbrook undertook the delicate task of separating long-term resident living spaces from short-term patient areas.
The short-term stay dining room was remodeled to reflect a more hospitality-like atmosphere and the physical therapy gym was expanded. Also, to ensure long-term care residents feel “at home,” their dining/activities room were renovated to include more intimate, residential aesthetics, and a new central family room space was created by capturing former office and clean linen rooms and opening them up to the corridor.
Needed to transform tight institutional spaces to create comfortable residential areas.
Utilized existing corridor as informal socialization area.
- Remodeled Physical Therapy Gym
- Remodeled Short-Term Stay Dining Room
- Central Family Room Addition
- Personal touches make the family room feel warm, familiar and comfortable
- Accessories like old yearbooks and coffee table picture books so residents can reminisce
Situated on 6.7 acres of rolling countryside adjacent a bustling commercial corridor, the Landings 142-unit Senior Living campus offers Batavia and surrounding communities a variety of lifestyle options. The building provides distinguished entrances for both Independent Living and Assisted/Memory Care residents.
As an extension to the Carriage Crossing Senior Living (CCSL) Rochester community, BLDD was commissioned to design a townhome/cottage master plan. The project is built on a 3.17-acre site that consists of 14 one-story cottage quadplexes, triplexes and duplexes.
Monarch Landing wanted to turn their tired, cafeteria-like cafe into a dynamic and fresh bistro environment, while finding efficiencies during the design process to better serve their residents and staff. The 124 seats can be arranged within a variety of settings which include the large main dining area, a more intimate banquet seating area, and the “pub,” which can be closed off with large barn doors for a private space or resident events.
