Construction Under Way at Lombard Place Assisted Living and Memory Care

    CHICAGO, IL, July 10, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Construction is under way on Lombard's newest senior living community, Lombard Place Assisted Living & Memory Care at 300 West 22nd Street, a project of Spectrum Retirement Communities, a Denver-based company ranked in the top five senior living companies for excellence by its peers. Known for delivering luxurious senior living at an affordable price, Spectrum's newest property will offer flexible and affordable month-to-month leasing programs with absolutely no up-front costs or down payments.

Weis Builders is managing the project and Vessel Architecture & Design is architect.

Located on the northwest corner of West 22nd and South Elizabeth streets, Lombard Place Assisted Living & Memory Care is set to open in summer of 2015 with a wide range of lifestyle options, including Assisted Living, Transitional Memory Care and Memory Care. The property will feature top-flight amenities, dining and Spectrum's signature wellness programs.

"Lombard Place offers close proximity to all that Chicago offers and is surrounded by gorgeous parks, quality shopping and rich history," said John Sevo, managing director of Spectrum Retirement Communities. "We believe prospective residents and their families will appreciate all that can be enjoyed within our community and the village of Lombard."

Lombard Place is Spectrum's third community in Illinois. All 80 residences within the four-story, 78,500-square-foot community have been planned to maximize health, independence, security and peace of mind, while also compassionately supporting those who need more assistance. Lombard Place's Transitional Memory Care program, unique to Spectrum communities, supports seniors with mild cognitive impairment, while still offering a high level of independence. Elements of the company's extensive activities program were recently featured on NBC Nightly News in a story about the rise in mobile and social gaming.

Resident move-in at Lombard Place is scheduled for summer of 2015. Spectrum will begin taking reservations for its month-to-month rental program beginning this month through its website, www.lombardplaceassistedliving.com.
