Presbyterian Communities & Services (PC&S), a not-for-profit senior living organization based in Irving, Texas, has two large development projects underway in Dallas: 1) a five-stage makeover of Presbyterian Village North, and 2) a state-of-the-art inpatient hospice center.
Pi Architects of Austin prepared a five-stage master plan for renovating and expanding Presbyterian Village North, a 550-resident community on 67 acres. Phase 1 of the makeover, priced at $87 million, includes general renovations but also adds new independent living, assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation facilities, along with new fitness and aquatics centers. The project began last May, with completion expected in winter 2015.
The $54 million, 100,000-square-foot T. Boone Pickens Hospice & Palliative Care Center, named for its primary benefactor, is scheduled to open in September 2015. The city’s first stand-alone inpatient hospice care center will include 36 inpatient care suites and four family or guest suites, as well as a bereavement center, chapel, garden reflection area, and educational center. Phase 1, at a cost of $40 million, is underway; Phase 2, which will follow, will add $14 million to the total cost. Mr. Pickens committed $18.4 million to the hospice project. Dallas-based PDRG Architects is the designer and builder.
PC&S was established in 2008 by joining three existing Dallas properties: Grace Presbyterian Village, a CCRC that opened in 1962 as Presbyterian Village of Dallas; Presbyterian Village North, a CCRC that opened in 1980; and Faith Presbyterian Hospice, which opened in 2003 and provides home hospice care and outreach services.
