You have hust became the manager of an assisted living facility for elderly but ambulatory ( able to move without assistance) clients.

You have come to a conclusion that you need a new facility.The buliding you rae in is a converted hotel built in the 1960's and it is no longer a viable platform to effectively support your miission of serving a geriatric population.

In addition to needing rooms, dining facility, a medical clinic (with 24 hours staff), a hair salon, technology lab,game room ( pool,vintage games,etc..) movie theater and a swimming pool, a new requirement has been identified by the industry and that is pet staff. This special staff would consist of a few dogs and cats living in the new facility with over 300 clients.

Note: animal staff should not be isolated but can be restricted to certain parts of the facility, for example, they would need to be kept out of the kichens and dining areas.

You need to locate a building anywhere in the USA but consider that we dont want our clients to get sick because of cold winters. Also, excessive heat may be a problem.

There are no specific cost constraints but all of the specified criteria must be met or close as you can. Remember that where there is more than one floor clients will need multiple elevators and visitors must have elevators.

Also consider the extensive safety apparatus for elderly to move and bathe. lastly, there must be room for Hov-a-rounds and all types of wheel chairs for folks who cant walk long distance.

As you prepare to answer this question insure you prioritized the specialized criteria above. Also determine whether you want to use generic criteria. N

ote: the more requirements included in your recommendation for a new facility the higher you score. When you locate a new facility onile insure that the URL and a description matching some or all of the attributes described above are included. It's fine to pick one that is already an assisted living facility. But these will have to be very close to perfect in meetin specified criteria.

You can answer this quesion in one page. An introduction with background, the actual selection and detailed description and of course tell me why.
