St. Louis, Mo., August 9, 2010 – S. M. Wilson & Co. will build two new senior living facility additions worth approximately $12 million at the Concordia Village senior living campus in Springfield, Illinois operated by St. Louis-based Lutheran Senior Services. The projects include a new $10 million Skilled Nursing Facility and a $2 million Patio Homes addition to the Continuing Care Retirement Community for independent living. 

 

The new 49,000 square foot Skilled Nursing Facility will contain four ‘household centers’ of 16 resident rooms each. Residents will receive all caregiver services including nursing, meal preparation and all activities from the household. The households will be connected to a central common area featuring private family dining rooms, a bistro, physical therapy services and a spa. The entire facility will be connected to the recently completed Concordia Village Campus expansion, and will also include new central laundry to service the entire Concordia Village Campus.

 

The 18,000 square foot Patio Homes addition will include three new three-unit independent living homes of approximately 2,000 square feet each. The homes will include two- and three-bedroom, two-bath units, all with attached garages and a wireless nurse call system connected to the campus’ central communications. The new homes will complement the 14 existing independent living Patio Homes built by S. M. Wilson in 2009 during the $30 million Phase I of the Concordia Village Continuing Care Retirement Community expansion.

 

S. M. Wilson will provide pre-construction and construction management services for both new projects. Work on the two projects will begin immediately. The Patio Homes expansion is scheduled for completion in December 2010, and the Skilled Nursing Facility is scheduled for completion in summer 2011. Grubbs & Associates is architect for the Skilled Nursing Facility, and St. Louis Design Alliance is architect for the Patio Homes project.
