DP /ADLS PETITION 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Adult Family Living, Inc. "AFL respectfully requests DP /ADLS approval for its
proposed adult family living/continuing care development. The 6.53 acre site is located
generally on the northwest corner of Community Drive and Cherry Creek Boulevard within the
Legacy Planned Unit Development District (see attached location exhibits).
In the state of Indiana, dementia and Alzheimer's disease (collectively, "dementia are
widespread among the elderly. Currently when a person shows signs of dementia, there are few
choices open to the family. AFL's proposed development provides a residential option for
seniors suffering from various forms of dementia, but who otherwise are in relatively good
health (e.g., not in need of hospital care). The residences will include on -site caregivers who will
assist the residents with non medical activities of daily life (e.g., dressing, bathing, medication
reminders, organized activities, and companionship) in a residential setting. AFL believes that
this use will provide seniors and their families the benefits and comforts of in -home residential
care without the strain (on both the senior and their family) of family- home -based care.
AFL's plan is to construct ten (10) total buildings over four (4) phases, with the first
phase consisting of two (2) buildings. As illustrated by the development plans, each building
purposefully is designed to be residential in character. The interior layout provides separate
private bedrooms for each senior resident (up to six on each side and up to twelve per building)
and offers common area facilities such as the kitchen area, dining area and sitting area as well as
the caregiver's area (each side of a building also will have an on -site caregiver 24 hours per day).
