ARCO Builds Webster Senior Living

ARCO Construction Co., Inc. is building a new senior living community for Provision Living, a St. Louis-based assisted living company. The $18 million Provision Living in Webster Groves assisted living community will debut in summer 2012 and feature 80 living units plus on-site conveniences including medical, rehabilitation, wellness and retail space.  Emerging at 45 E. Lockwood, the four-story, 82,500-square-foot structure will offer a range of assisted living options including studio, one-room and two-room apartments. It will feature 18 units that are uniquely dedicated to assisted memory care and memory care programming. Other amenities include underground parking for residents and a wellness center, spa, beauty/barbershop and a theater. The facility will employ 60 people.

"We are passionate about helping area seniors receive the services they desire right in the heart of the community they love," says Todd Spittal, chief executive officer for Provision Living.  ARCO's turn-key service is creating first-floor amenities - such as an attached café and wellness center - that will be both accessible and appealing to the public, helping unite the facility and its residents with the Webster Groves community. Its exterior will mirror the rich architecture of nearby buildings, which also encourages engagement and blends the new residence with the existing streetscape.

Senior adults living with memory loss best maintain their quality of life in an environment that is safe and encourages regular group interaction and purposeful activities. Hence, the memory care neighborhood features a common dining area; a spacious and flexible activity room; a greenhouse; and a sitting room with a large fireplace. In addition, common areas are designed to accommodate a wide variety of interests and activities.

Joining ARCO on the project are ACI Boland, architect; Stock & Associates Consulting Engineers, Inc., civil engineer; KPFF, Inc., structural engineer; Habco Partnership, Inc., electrical contractor; Degenhardt Heating & Cooling, mechanical contractor; Ahern Co., fire protection contractor; and Beetz Plumbing Co., plumbing contractor.
Founded by Todd Spittal and David Weiss, Provision Living operates 14 communities in eight states - Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee.
