RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS In addition, meals and other support and personal care services will be available to congre- gate residents on a fee -for -service basis, such as laundry, housekeeping, etc. When their care needs increase, residents also have the option of receiving assisted living packages in their existing units. New independent housing could be developed adjacent to an existing senior project or in a stand-alone development. • Assisted Living and Memory Care Senior Housing — The existing Stoney River of Ramsey as- sisted living project satisfies the demand for assisted living in the short-term. However, we project demand for another 27 units by 2024. Demand for service -based housing will con- tinue to escalate after 2025 as the baby boomers start to desire services as the decade pro- gresses. The Stoney River of Ramsey development is also the only project that offers memory care housing in Ramsey. Demand was projected for about 50 units of memory care over the next five years. We recommend assisted living units include a mix of studio, and one -bedroom, and a few two -bedroom units with base monthly rents ranging from $3,000 to $5,500. Memory care unit mix should be mostly studios and one -bedroom units with a few two -bedroom units for couples with base monthly rents ranging from $4,000 to $6,000. Memory care units should be located in a secured, self-contained wing located on the first floor of a building and should feature its own dining and common area amenities including a secured outdoor patio and wandering area. The base monthly fees should include all utilities (except telephone and basic cable/satel- lite television) and the following services: • Three meals per day; • Weekly housekeeping and linen service; • Two loads of laundry per week; • Weekly health and wellness clinics; • Meal assistance; • Regularly scheduled transportation; • Professional activity programs and scheduled outings; • Nursing care management; • I'm OK program; • 24-hour on site staffing; • Personal alert pendant with emergency response; and • Nurse visit every other month.
