South Coast Improvement Company completed a challenging yet rewarding design assist project centered around constructing a Life Guidance unit tailored for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. This intricate endeavor encompassed a series of phases, from renovating existing occupied residences to seamlessly integrating a new out-of-the-ground addition harmoniously with the existing structure.

The heart of this project lies in the construction of 45 new residential living spaces within a spacious 45,000-square-foot addition, catering specifically to the unique needs of the residents in the Life Guidance unit. Furthermore, we repurposed the existing Life Guidance rooms into inviting assisted living spaces, ensuring a holistic and supportive home for all residents.

The mechanical aspects incorporated replacing the existing aging system in this fully occupied senior living with a new VRF system with integrated energy recovery.

In our commitment to enhancing the quality of life for the residents, we meticulously incorporated a range of amenities to enrich their daily experiences. From a cozy library to a welcoming bar and bistro, a state-of-the-art health club and physical therapy room, a rejuvenating salon spa, functional office space, and a warm reception area every detail was thoughtfully designed to elevate the living standards within the unit.

Moreover, our dedication to excellence extended beyond aesthetics to encompass the installation of new common area rooms and the meticulous upgrade of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems throughout the facility. The kitchen areas in the assisted living rooms were also meticulously enhanced with new millwork, ensuring both functionality and modern appeal.

This project stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to exceeding expectations and delivering exceptional results. The successful completion of the Life Guidance unit project not only showcases our expertise in occupied renovations but also underscores our ability to seamlessly execute complex projects with precision and care. We are proud to have played a part in transforming spaces and enriching lives, and we look forward to continuing to create brighter futures for those we serve.The project involved the renovation and relocation of 65,000 square feet of space. SCIC’s commitment to quality, communication, and integrity was evident throughout the project. We take the construction of people’s residences very seriously, and we are proud to have delivered a project that provided new homes for all the residents in this community.
