Fri, 09/11/2015
Living Care Lifestyles will break ground next spring on Quail Park of West Seattle at 4515 41st Ave SW, a 20,000 square foot free standing memory care facilitiy. When the community officially opens, it will be the only dedicated memory care community in the surrounding seven zip codes.
When it opens in 2017 it will have 45 rooms for dementia and Alzheimer’s residents with a capacity to hold 66 residents.
With three self-sustaining floors on almost a half-acre site, Quail Park of Seattle will have centrally-located common areas on each floor. Some of the amenities will include a dining area, sitting lounge, theatre, activity space, outdoor patio, water fixtures, putting green, distinct and exclusive “neighborhoods” reflecting the West Seattle heritage with specific historic markers and items.
“We are pleased to provide the first-standing memory care community in West Seattle so that residents who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s have a place to call home and are provided with the highest quality of care possible,” said Denis Bryant, CEO and president of Living Care Lifestyles. “Our research indicates there is a significant unmet demand for seniors in the city and surrounding areas that need to be taken care of and this new state-of-the-art community will do just that and more,” said Bryant.
Quail Park of West Seattle is centrally located within the West Seattle Junction Hub Urban Village along both California Ave SW and SW Alaska streets. The community location is pedestrian friendly and close to local churches, schools, grocery and department stores and other businesses.
