Caddis Partners is building a new project in Peoria, Ill., which will include a single-story, 36-unit memory care building in addition to a three-story residential building offering a total of 72 assisted living apartments. Heartis Peoria will be operated by Pathway Senior Living LLC.
Each unit in the memory care portion offers a studio layout incorporating a private bathroom and direct access to dining and common areas. The implementation of multiple therapy rooms, an activities center, sun room, salon, and secured outdoor space will serve to enhance the well-being of people living with the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
The assisted living component features 72 upscale apartments in a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts. McShane Construction Co., will complete numerous interior and exterior gathering areas, a spacious dining room with adjacent commercial kitchen, library and computer room, a bistro bar, and a salon.
The exterior will utilize a blend of attractive finishes such as cement board, siding, clad stone veneer, stucco and masonry that will accent the building’s Juliet balconies, cedar trellises, and elegant window lines. All sitework for the assisted living and memory care development will be completed by McShane including three landscaped courtyards, walking paths, and outdoor seating areas together with generous on-site parking. Katus LLC is providing the architectural services for the assignment slated for completion in 2016.
