Assisted Living (Healthcare)

14,000 SF Addition

Thomas Rest Haven

“Where people aren’t just cared for…they are cared about.”

With an existing 64-bed institutional building as its predecessor, it was crucial for this addition to exude the feel of a home environment. A long held dream of its founding members, Park View Assisted Living is a 12-unit community that completes the range of elderly care provided at the facility.

The success of this project lies in its apparent residential scale, both on the exterior and the interior. On approach to the building, the views of the facades emulate a single family home, with a chimney stack and front porch as the predominant indicators. Inside, an open commons floor plan, punctuated by walls and millwork, creates the feel of a private residence complete with a library and kitchen for resident use.
