Brightondale Senior Assisted Living Campus Brightondale Senior Assisted Living was built in 1988 as a 3-story senior independent building. It was purchased by SilverCrest in 1993 and converted to a senior assisted living building to accommodate the needs of the residents who were aging in place. Since this time we have enlarged our main kitchen and converted one-half of a floor into units for memory care residents. No major renovation of the building has taken place to date. To keep Brightondale up to date with current design trends for assisted living and to be competitive in the marketplace, we are anticipating an interior renovation of over$1 million in cost to the first and second floor common areas. This renovation includes increasing the size of the main first floor dining room by nearly 1,200 SF. The increase in the dining room size allows us to provide a bistro type restaurant area for the residents as well as, for the first time ever, provide a gathering/seating area for resident activities on the first floor. There will be continuous windows on the north and west side of this addition to gain maximum lighting into this large space and provide a view out to the wooded landscape. Also, on the first floor,the reception area would be updated and a conference room for residents and staff will be added to existing common areas. Bathrooms will be updated to make them fully accessible to residents. On the second floor, common areas will be renovated to make them more usable and enjoyable for Brightondale residents. We will be creating a separate library with computers and a multi- purpose room to be closed off with glass for noise privacy. The multi-purpose room can be used as a chapel and/or for scheduled and supervised exercise as well as other functions. The expansion of the dining room at the back courtyard will not have a significant impact on the neighbors to the west. The new dining room addition will be extended approximately 50 feet in width. This new addition will be approximately 80 feet from the west property line and will not substantially impact the existing vegetative buffer to the neighborhood. The addition will be slab on grade and will require minimal grading. The current landscaping at Brightondale is mature and plentiful on the west edge with the neighbors. The landscape plan shows the plantings that will be used as replacement landscaping around the new patio. Exterior materials will be similar to the materials on the existing building, grey wood lap siding, painted hardboard panels and teal colored flashing and accent trim.
