Frequently Asked Questions
Why is The Moorings pursuing this expansion?
The expansion project was proposed to meet increased demand, as well as to maintain the community’s relevance now and for many years to come. This expansion is part of a long-term plan to serve more older adults in the community and show our commitment to help seniors live better, longer.
How will current residents benefit from the new building?
There are numerous benefits for all residents that come with this expansion plan. The new Independent Living residences are only one part of the improvements, which will span the entire campus.
The expansion also features a renewal of the dining spaces and common areas of the current Independent Living building, and a renovated entry sequence that will unify the two Independent Living buildings.
When was the expansion decided upon?
Approval was sought from the Board of Directors in early December 2023. After approval, our internal teams involved in the project immediately set to work on a communications plan to ensure transparency and visibility to all residents, families, and neighbors. It is our commitment to our residents, both current and prospective, that our communications will continue to be timely and transparent as this project progresses.
Will the expansion project have a focus on sustainability?
Yes, the expansion will meet all new applicable sustainability code requirements. Presbyterian Living is also going a step further to look at sustainable features that could be incorporated into the project. We are committed to making this project as sustainable as possible.
