Isakson Living $200M CCRC Delayed Again

A $200 million senior living project from Isakson Living has been delayed again following the rescheduling of a zoning hearing by the Cobb Planning Commission of Cobb County Georgia, reports the local Patch.

The delay, according to Patch, was due to the commission’s decision to appoint a committee to re-evaluate the continuing care retirement community (CCRC) zoning category. 

Isakson Living recently resubmitted a rezoning request in December for the project, which plans to feature 837 independent living units and 150 “health care” units.

The rescheduled hearing date before the Cobb Planning Commission has been slated for May 6 and May 20.

Alabama Assisted Living Facility Opens After Year-Long Delay

Decatur ALF Group LLC’s Westminster Assisted Living has finally begun operating after more than a year since it was originally planned to open, reports Decatur Daily.

The 40-bed facility started moving in its first residents during early November. Though developers initially anticipated a completion date of June 2012—following the project’s announcement in September 2011—development had been delayed due to a change in contractor and architect. 

The 30,282-square-foot Westminster features 24 assisted living beds, 16 of which will cater to residents with dementia. Each 400-square-foot room includes a studio kitchen, flat-screen TV and computer area. 

Average monthly rates to live in the community range from $3,350 to $5,100. 

While developers announced initially that the construction costs would amount to approximately $8 million, they did not disclose the final price tag to Decatur Daily.
