MorseLife, a not-for-profit provider of senior care and housing at its campus in West Palm Beach, Florida, is currently undergoing a four-phase $150 million capital expansion project called The Campaign to Transform MorseLife. The company embarked on the campaign in 2010, and has so far raised about $25 million, with more to come from individual philanthropists. Two phases have already been completed, including the addition of a short-term rehab facility that houses 120 beds and a significant renovation of the campus’ 160-bed long-term care building. MorseLife has already commenced construction on a new 82-unit assisted living/memory care building that is set to open in May 2015. Finally, in mid-2015, the company will break ground on a new 182-unit, 10-story independent living building that will bring the campus’s total number of IL and AL apartments to 326. The building, called Tradition Tower, will be completed in two years.
The company started in 1983 as a 120-bed SNF and today is looking to expand even more in Palm Beach County. MorseLife is also one of two SNF/rehab centers in the state that is designated by the Florida State Legislature as a “Teaching Nursing Home,” making it a center of research and training of future health care professionals.
