Senior Star at Dublin Retirement Village Offers New Assisted Living and Memory Support to Columbus

DUBLIN, Ohio, April 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Senior Star announces today an expansion to the Dublin Retirement Village campus. The addition will make assisted living and memory support options available to seniors in a new building to be constructed adjacent to the current independent living community. This new addition will provide a comprehensive care campus, offering Dublin area residents with additional retirement living choices as well as creating more than 80 full- and part-time jobs.

This addition to the Senior Star family, projected to open in the summer of 2015 will consist of 60 assisted living and 21 memory support apartment homes in a three-story, steel framed community design. The expansion offers residents the security of added age-in-place options along with stellar care that is the hallmark of Senior Star's programs for retirement living. "We have provided services to Dublin families for more than 20 years through our independent living community," said Anja Rogers, chief operating officer for Senior Star. "We look forward to expanding our level of quality retirement living options and serving more residents who will become new members of the Senior Star family."

The Senior Star at Dublin Retirement Village campus will bring a comprehensive approach to the care of older adults with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. "Our communities are specifically developed so that new and innovative programming can continually be part of our residents' lives," said Ron Keller, executive director of Senior Star at Dublin Retirement Village. Senior Star's signature memory support programming includes, but is not limited to:

• A Virtual Dementia Tour® designed to build awareness and sensitivity in caregivers.
• An iPod® music program giving residents and their families ways to connect through music.
• Snoezelen Therapy® that provides a relaxing atmosphere designed to stimulate, calm, relax, or energize residents.

Equally important to the care provided at Senior Star is the design and construction of the building itself. BeeryRio Architects and IDA, Inc., are the design firms and Douglas Construction of Toledo, OH, is providing the pre-development services. Each has been chosen for their track record in excellent design and construction of retirement communities.
