Overview
Friendship Village teamed with Gray to transform their Chesterfield Campus, creating over 100 new residences and significant amenities enhancements. Phasing was crucial for maintaining operations during construction to limit disturbance to current residents—a top priority. Each phase comprised multiple components, introducing new independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities, providing a comprehensive range of life care options.

Independent Living
Rockhurst features 52 one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments with its own courtyard, including raised planters for active gardeners.

Skilled Nursing
The Village Care Center, an innovative new skilled nursing community, houses 90 units with mostly private rooms, a state-of-the-art rehabilitation clinic and a therapy gym. Additional amenities directly located within the complex include a chapel, a centralized courtyard, activity kitchens and a beauty salon.


Assisted Living + Memory Care
Connecting directly to the Village Care Center by a vibrant shared commons area is the new Assisted Living community. This four-story building includes 40 assisted living units and has its own dining, theater, activity space, beauty salon and fitness center. Private third-floor balconies offer residents a prime view of their designated courtyard and much of the larger campus. The first floor serves as a dedicated Memory Care neighborhood, with 15 new units and its own private, enclosed courtyard.




Wellness Center
With the extensive additional housing options, shared campus spaces like the Trillium Center Wellness Wing and Clubhouse were substantially renovated and expanded. Including innovative wellness programs and the latest technology was critical to Friendship Village to support its comprehensive, fully invested care model that prioritizes the continued independence and healthy aging of its residents. The reimagined Trillium Center contains a centralized creative arts space, fitness classrooms, wellness gym, therapy gym, health clinic, beauty salon, game room and an outdoor patio adjacent to bocce ball and horse shoe courts.



Clubhouse
The 4,000 square foot addition to the Clubhouse doubles the dining area and allows for expansive, pristine landscaped views. A large fire place, revamped lounge, library, business center, centralized mailroom and new ice cream shop are among the enhanced features residents can enjoy.



Campus Design
The campus upgrades seamlessly blend individual architectural detailing for each building within Friendship Village’s brand standards. This approach creates a cohesive and engaging environment where each building maintains its unique identity while contributing to a harmonious overall design.
