Hosparus Health recently opened a new facility for senior care, bringing significant benefits to the city’s elderly and their families. A former Coca-Cola memorial museum and distribution center has been transformed into the PACE Center (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly). The concept provides a broad spectrum of services like health clinics and physical therapy, all individually designed so patients can continue living independently.
Schmidt Associates worked with Hosparus Health to transform the 24,000-SF building into a state-of-the-art facility. The resulting facility includes 16,000 SF of ground level dedicated to PACE operations, an 8,000-SF mezzanine for administrative office space, and a drive-thru parking garage. PACE operations include a large day room for communal activities, therapy spaces for physical and mental stimulation, areas for food preparation and laundry, a clinic for primary care, and management offices. The addition of new windows throughout the building will fill the facility with natural light and panoramic views of the outdoors.
The remaining 8,000 SF of the ground level will serve as a drive-thru garage and parking area, while the mezzanine will house business operations. This efficient use of space means the facility will be fully functional and adaptable to the evolving needs of its patients and staff.
