Architect:

David Boersma was the lead architect on this 155,000 square foot senior housing facility. This
project was phased into two separate buildings. In conjunction with independent real-estate
research groups, our initial pre-planning found an immediate need for independent senior living
to subsidize existing developments within the community. Further investigation revealed the
migration of independent living residents to assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. The first
phase consisted of a facility for 95 independent living residents with the complex core services to
service the immediate needs found. The second phase of the project contained accommodations
for 50 skilled nursing residents. Facility amenities included:
Dinning Room
Library
Physical Therapy Room
Great Room with fireplace
Chapel
Computer Lab
Craft Room
Fitness Center
Game Room

David Boersma was the lead architect on this 24,000 square foot addition to this existing nursing
home. Beechwood manor had realized the need for affordable transition housing in their community.
The owners made the decision to expand the current building with the addition of 25 assisted living
apartments. Several hurdles were overcome to proceed with the plans for the project. The owners
sought HUD financing and were subject to the 232 rehabilitation requirements and most importantly, the
UFAS accessibility standards. The original building was constructed prior to ADA standards and had to be
brought up to the current accessibility requirements. In addition, zoning laws required special land use
for the expansion. We worked with the city and the neighborhood residents to find a solution that met
the expectations of the owners and added value to the community. The city has honored the owners with
a beautification award for their efforts in improving the building and the neighborhood is very happy with
the outcome.
