This is the new senior living complex on the edge of St. Kate's campus which includes several configurations of independent living apartments and studios, assisted living, and memory units. It's a whole community by itself. Not yet totally completed, all of the units have been snapped up already. Here are some of the photos of the various construction stages of development that began last spring.
The complex is described this way: Carondelet Village, a senior living community is a joint project of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, St. Paul Province, and Presbyterian Homes & Services (PHS). One of its unique features is Carondelet Circle, a wellness and life enrichment center that includes a library, bistro, conservatory, market and gift shop, arts and crafts studios, and intimate gathering spaces that will be opening to residents and the general community over the next several months. Carondelet Circle will also host an array of holistic wellness and enrichment programs for residents as well as the larger community. PHS is managing Carondelet Village. (Carondelet Viilage website)

The thought that places like this exist makes the future journey into old age a little more do-able. We've come a long way from dreary, smelly, dead-end nursing homes, although plenty of those still exist. Let's hope that more and more of these places are available to more and more people as they age.
ReplyDeleteIs there a strong evidence of lego-building here?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fantastic concept.
ReplyDeletei didn't know anything about this new place! Well, since we don't live on Wellesley Ave anymore...
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours, Great Kate!
Looks like a nice one. We have a new one here that sounds like it might be the same kind of place.
ReplyDeleteNot a place where I'd want to be ... yet! But, if that's what you must do, this would be a fine place to do it!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Interesting to see the different stages up until the almost finished project Kate. I hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas, take care.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a nice place. Only a few more day.
