KZF provided architecture services for a three-story memory care facility in Blue Ash, Ohio. The building includes 66 one-person suites with 22 units on each floor and 8- to 10-foot-wide hallways, allowing easy access for residents to walk through for exercise. It also provides special occasion rooms, lounges in the household area, a sun room on each floor and a non-denominational chapel for prayer or meditation for residents and family members.
About 50 employees are to staff the facility in shifts, including nurses, a geriatric specialist doctor and a psychologist will be on call and visit the facility about once a week. Serene Suites is also in discussions with Miami University about a collaboration with the students of the Scripps Gerontology Center. Office space would be provided by Serene Suites for faculty and students, who could conduct research on dementia and Alzheimer’s care.
