Trilogy Health Services invests $16M in health campus
Trilogy Health Services, of Louisville, Kentucky, is constructing a new 22,000 square foot facility in Monclova Township for its health campus. It will be known as The Legacy and will be specifically designed for those with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
The health campus will consist of two buildings. The first is the Town Square, which includes Trilogy’s assisted living residences and health center. It is approximately 60,000 square feet. When The Legacy is complete, the campus will have multiple dining rooms, a library, beauty shop, and approximately 120 beds. Resident rooms will also have European styled showers for safety and ease of use.
The total investment for the project is $16 million including the site, building costs, furniture, and fixtures. It was funded through a private source.
According to the company, the health campus will offer a continuum of senior living and related healthcare services all offered in a homelike setting that features an abundance of private rooms, chef-prepared meals, and services tailored to meet residents’ individual preferences.
The resident rooms will vary in size from approximately 236 square feet for private suites to 320 square feet for companion suites. In addition to private resident suites, each building features a number of common areas such as an ice cream parlor, a lounge with a pool table, a sunroom, and a Town Center with a large cupola that allows natural light into the area. It will also house several courtyards and a putting green. Each resident wing has its own nursing station. The entire property consists of 11.5 acres.
According to Trilogy Health Services, factors taken into consideration when selecting the locations for projects include current and future residential demographics, proximity to hospitals and other healthcare providers, current senior living / senior health providers in the area, as well as proximity to other Trilogy communities.
The Douglas Company of Holland, Ohio is the general contractor. This is The Douglas Company’s 19th project with Trilogy Health Services in the past 10 years. Universal Design Associates out of Ferdinand, Indiana is the architect for the project.
The Legacy will be one story featuring a mixture of brick and vinyl siding, with the site hosting two large ponds that include dramatic fountains, according to The Douglas Company.
When the health campus’ census is at 100%, it will employ 100 staff members. Team members will serve in a variety of capacities, including nurses and caregivers, housekeeping and laundry, dining services, business office, social services, activities and programming, plant operations, marketing and admissions, administration, and therapy. Full and part-time positions will be available.
Since 1997, Trilogy Health Services has been providing the Midwest with comprehensive care to seniors. It currently operates 67 senior health communities throughout Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.
