Trilogy Health Services expanding in Midwest

Louisville, Kentucky-based Trilogy Health Services will develop and expand senior living services in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio, the company announced in a news release on Thursday.

The development plan calls for one new campus community and expansions at multiple Midwest properties.

“We look forward to launching these exciting developments, creating new career opportunities, and meeting the growing demand for high-quality senior living accommodations and care,” Trilogy Health Services CEO LeAnn Barney said in the release.

Trilogy will start patio home expansions later this summer in Ohio with two-bedroom, two-bathroom layouts with high-end finishes, modern kitchens, and a one-car garage.

In Michigan, Trilogy will break ground on a new community in a campus setting in Portage, Michigan, with construction planned for August of this year. The community will include 49 skilled nursing units, 42 assisted living units, and 12 memory care units.

Community additions will take place in Kentucky and Indiana, adding 32 new patio homes and a clubhouse to a Harrodsburg, Kentucky community plus adding 46 new units across two properties in Indiana. All work is slated to start in September.

Next spring, Trilogy plans to add 24 patio homes to its Prairie Lakes Health campus in Indiana and 30 new patio homes at a community in Ottawa, Ohio.
