You have just become the manager of an assisted living facility for elderly but ambulatory (able to move without assistance) clients. You have me to the conclusion that you need a new facility.

The building you are is a converted hotel built in the 1960s and it no longer a viable platform to effectively support you mission and serve a geriatric population.

In addition to needing rooms, dining facility, a medical clinic (with 24 hour staff), a hair solon, technology lab, game room (pool, vintage games , ect) movie theater and pool a new requirement has been identified by the industry and that is feline and K-9 staff.

This special staff would consist of a few dogs and cats living in the new facility with the over 300 clients. Note animal staff should not be isolated but can be restricted to certain parts of the facility.

You need to locate a building anywhere in the US 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 a 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 the elderly to move and bathe. Lastly there must be room for Huv-a-rounds and all types of wheel cha (see these are target for folks who can't walk easily).

As you prepare to answer this question insure you prioritized the specialized criteria above. Also determine whether you want to use generic criteria. Note the more requirements included in your recommendation for a new facility the higher your score.

When you locate a new facility online insure that the URL and a description matching some or a the attributes described above are included. Its fine to pick one that is already assisted living BUT these will have to be very close to perfect in meeting specified criteria.

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