Capital Manor in Salem, Ore., has started construction work on a multiphase expansion project.
The not-for-profit continuing care retirement community for active seniors will add 34 new independent living villas. The planned Westside Villas, which will be Craftsman-style homes with open floor plans, will feature covered patios, gas fireplaces, over-sized garages, spacious rooms, and separate utility rooms.
“The villas are part of a five-phase expansion plan that was prompted by increased demand as the retirement community has been running a wait list for the past 2.5 years,” explains David Lewis, executive director, Capital Manor. “Phase one of the project will be increasing parking space; phase two will be adding a new memory care center; phase three will be the addition of the new independent living villas; phase four will be amenity upgrades and additional dining options; and phase five will be improvements to the existing villas. In all, the campus will expand from 35 acres to 43 acres,” Lewis says.
The new memory care community will feature private suites and a spacious outdoor courtyard. Capital Manor residents also have access to a wide array of services and amenities, including an indoor swimming pool, community gardens, a bistro, a woodshop, a ceramics studio, general store, thrift shop, bank, beauty salon, wine and coffee bar, and campus-wide Wi-Fi.
