Good Samaritan Society Builds New South Dakota SNF

Good Samaritan Society Builds New South Dakota SNF

Construction has completed at a brand new skilled nursing facility in Rapid City, South Dakota, the state’s first new facility since the 1980s.

Expected to open on January 1, 2018, the facility will feature private rooms, therapeutic recreation programs and other specialized therapies. It is located on a Good Samaritan Society’s St. Martin Village campus in Rapid City, which includes independent living and assisted living... Read More »

A Restaurant-To-Seniors Housing Conversion

A Restaurant-To-Seniors Housing Conversion

A former restaurant and banquet facility in Lower Providence, Pennsylvania is being converted to seniors housing, so the kitchen and dining room are covered.  The restaurant, known as the Collegeville Inn, had its heyday in the 1950s and 60s, but after a couple of unsuccessful reboots, it closed for good in the early 2000s, when M&T Bank took over ownership. Now, Providence Place Senior Living, which already operates five communities in Pennsylvania, has broken ground on a $19 million conversion/addition project to develop a 113-unit senior living community. Included in the plans is a two-story addition that will house the residential units, which would serve independent living,... Read More »

Parc Communities Grows Again

Atlanta-based Parc Communities is bringing its luxury seniors housing brand out of state for the first time, with a 159-unit development near Texas A&M University in Bryan, Texas (next to College Station). Launched in 2000, Parc Communities made its name as a high-end provider of independent living, helped by the fact that its founding principles came from Ritz Carlton and formed Parc’s hospitality-driven model. However, the Great Recession hit independent living especially hard, and Parc repositioned its portfolio, adding an assisted living component to three communities, keeping two as-is, and selling off two. Now, Parc Communities is priming itself for growth again, starting with a... Read More »

Ziegler Finances South Carolina CCRC Expansion

With its roots in antebellum South Carolina, a 178-unit CCRC in West Columbia is repositioning itself for the future with a planned expansion of its skilled nursing and assisted living services. The South Carolina Episcopal Home at Still Hopes has been in operation since 1975 and sits on a 43-acre site that includes a 107-year old mansion. It currently features 192 independent living units, 24 memory care units, 22 rehab beds and 40 skilled nursing beds, but the not-for-profit ownership wanted to construct a new health center that would house 48 skilled nursing beds (to replace the existing 40 beds) and 22 assisted living units.
