East Ridge at Cutler Bay (Miami), Miami-Dade County’s only life care community, has begun a major expansion for its campus incorporating assisted living and skilled nursing as well as wellness and community services.
The expansion includes relocation of the current skilled nursing and assisted living facilities on the campus, creating 195 residential units to replace 116 beds in current facilities. The assisted living component will provide 90 private apartments including studio- suites and one- and two- bedroom residences. A new memory care facility will provide 31 private suites while skilled nursing will include 74 private rooms.
Additionally, a rehabilitation center, home health offices and clinic will be included as well as several public areas and service components, such as a new bistro, convenience store and laundry. The new buildings are designed to blend with recent East Ridge additions that include the community fitness center and lifestyleactivity buildings.
A Key West-inspired architectural style has been designed by AG Architectural of Wisconsin; Bridget Bohacz & Associates, an interior design firm specializing in senior living has been selected for interior design. Partnering on the project is LECESSE Construction Co. and the Miami-based Arellano Construction Co. for project management and general contractor services.
