Meadow Peak at Summit Vista is unique due to the Owner/Developer/Design team not only recognizing, but embracing the need to introduce Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing and Memory Care to an already successful Independent Living community. TSA Architects knitted these resources together to create a complementary, organic, and holistic experience for the residents as they transfer between care levels when experiencing health events of both temporary and long-term duration.

Meadow Peak features a continuous promenade that connects all residents to the amenities which include spaces for different dining experiences, an art studio, theater, salon, and library. This provides residents with the power of choice and independence. TSA Architects also placed shared community spaces along the promenade, allowing all residents and guests to come together for official events or simple family and friend gatherings. Throughout the building you will also find connections to nature through large windows with stunning mountain views and healing garden courtyards that spill indoors. TSA Architects has created a space that enables residents to stay close to family and friends, continue using the same amenities they are used to, and overall provide the best experience possible regardless of the resident’s level of care.

TSA Architects and Orcutt | Winslow have created a replacement study for the current William E. Christoffersen Veterans Home that is keeping with its mission, vision, and program goals. It is a truly innovative, state-of-the-art, non-institutional skilled nursing facility that can provide Veterans with the best care in a resident-centered environment. This facility will provide the necessary care that enhances the resident’s ability to function more independently and will improve their overall quality of life.

Within the facility, the centrally located Community Center will provide activity spaces including social spaces like the Multi-Purpose Room, Sports Club, and Canteen where residents can come together to socialize amongst themselves or with visiting family and friends. The facility will be organized into functional units called Households, where residents live their daily lives. Each Household will provide shared spaces for resident functions such as living, activities, dining, and socializing. In addition to shared spaces, each resident will have a private living space (Resident Bedroom) with an attached in-suite bathroom. Every two Households will have a collection of shared resident spaces between them called a Neighborhood, which will provide resident support and amenity spaces that may be shared between Households.

Rocky Mountain Care’s newest facility takes Senior Living design to the next level. The Lodge is designed to introduce resort healthcare to the Heber Valley. The award-winning 68,200 square foot single-story building will be home to 100 residents, providing access to 2 naturally landscaped enclosed interior courtyards and a “main street” full of amenities such as physical therapy, beauty salon, dining and a central gathering area. The design encourages patients to leave their rooms and participate in activities that promote rehabilitation and socialization. To enhance the patient experience, sustainability is well integrated into the overall design. A geothermal HVAC system, Photo-Voltaic ready roof and exterior electric car charging stations are just a few of the sustainable design features that residents enjoy.

Addressing a growing population of active seniors, TSA was commissioned to help vision and quantify significant growth and enhancements for this long-standing senior care center. Design for an additional wing includes private rooms with space for family and friends as well as plentiful amenities and multipurpose spaces which integrate more robustly with the center and its rural community. An easily accessible courtyard connects residents with nature and provides additional spaces for entertainment and gatherings.

The versatile multi-purpose room dedicated to serving all residents of the UCC features exposed heavy timber trusses with a tongue and groove cedar ceiling which draws upon a rustic blend of ranch and mountain style hospitality with grand openness.

Vine Street Senior Living is a critical component of the exciting MCCD development that is transforming downtown Murray. In addition to providing much needed senior living in the heart of Murray for residents who want to stay as they age, this project sensitively replaces several much-loved historic buildings. The challenge of integrating into the fabric of historic downtown Murray is accomplished by locating the building close to the sidewalk thus creating a pedestrian-friendly walkable link between State Street and nearby residential neighborhoods. This is further enhanced by placement of public services such as Chapel, Library, Bistro, Dining Room, Salon, and Physical Therapy at street level. The community includes 24 memory care beds and 102 Level 2 assisted living beds. Residents will enjoy a full complement of shared amenities and programs to encourage physical activity and socialization. The building is intentionally designed such that all resident apartments will enjoy dramatic views of the Wasatch Mountains or the beautiful garden.

This project consists of a new 2-story Skilled Nursing Facility with 40 Skilled Nursing units and approximately 20-30 Assisted Living bedrooms. In addition to the resident units the building will include a variety of common spaces and amenities for dining, activities and a cozy lobby that will feature a fireplace and reading nook.
