    FAQ

    Senior Living Construction Questions

    How long does senior living construction take?

    Senior living construction timelines vary by facility type and size. Assisted living facilities (60-100 units) typically take 14-20 months. Memory care additions or standalone facilities take 12-16 months. Independent living communities (100-150 units) generally require 18-24 months. Large CCRCs with multiple care levels may take 24-36 months. We provide detailed schedules during preconstruction that account for licensing requirements and phased occupancy. 

    Senior living construction costs vary significantly by care level. Independent living typically costs $175,000-$275,000 per unit. Assisted living ranges from $200,000-$325,000 per unit. Memory care, with specialized security and programming spaces, costs $225,000-$375,000 per unit. Skilled nursing facilities range from $275,000-$400,000+ per bed. Costs depend on unit sizes, common area amenities, medical infrastructure, and site conditions. 

    Yes, we understand that senior living facilities must meet specific state licensing requirements in both Georgia and Florida. This includes room size minimums, corridor widths, nurse call systems, emergency power, fire suppression, and accessibility standards. We work with your licensing consultants and architects to ensure construction meets all regulatory requirements for your facility type and care level. 

    Absolutely. Memory care construction requires specialized design and security features. We build secured perimeters with delayed egress doors, enclosed outdoor wandering gardens, circular walking paths, and camouflaged exits. We also construct specialized programming spaces, sensory rooms, and dining areas designed for residents with dementia. All security systems integrate with the overall life safety and nurse call systems. 

    Yes, we handle both ground-up construction and renovations of existing senior living facilities. This includes adding memory care wings to assisted living facilities, renovating common areas, upgrading resident units, expanding dining venues, and modernizing infrastructure.
