Architects propose Sugar Grove senior living apartment

SUGAR GROVEThe Sugar Grove Village Board on Tuesday heard from Thad Gleason, owner of Gleason Architects P.C., as he presented a senior living development plan for Senescent Healthcare, LLC of Lincolnshire.

Gleason Architects P.C., an architectural company located in Sugar Grove, has extensive experience in services for health care facilities.

Gleason explained the details surrounding the new proposed Sugar Grove senior living apartment, which will be located at the southwest corner of Division Drive and Park Avenue.

This will be a assisted living care facility with a memory care component, Gleason said. Its not a nursing home. There are 71 units on 74,000 square feet on a 23-acre lot. Residents will receive three meals a day and will have access to exercise programs, laundry services, social activities, transportation services, a hair salon, clinic/medical office and more. Bathing, dressing, and 24-hour security are included.

According to Gleason, there are a number of rooms included within the facility, such as a dining room, bistro and coffee shop area, commercial kitchen, laundry service room, movie theater, spa, activity room, multi-purpose room and more.

The parking lot of the senior living apartment and its number of parking spots was a topic of discussion during the board meeting.

Parking is generally for guests and employees since residents dont drive, Gleason said.

Village Board trustee Rick Montalto brought up his concern about limited parking at the facility.

Im concerned about the parking situation, Montalto said. I can see people needing cars. With visitors on holidays, getting service people and ambulance people in and out, Im concerned there isnt enough parking spots when you go down to 40 spots.

Community Development Director Walter Magdziarz explained the reasoning behind what could be a limited amount of parking spots.
