My building will have the sunroom on the south side of the building. The residents will <br /> have access to the outside from this room. People with dementia like different kinds of views. <br /> They actually like traffic and will be occupied for hours watching traffic. The area in back of the <br /> sunroom will be fenced as most of the facilities I visited were. There will be raised planters in <br /> this area for resident gardening. The residents enjoy this. <br /> The Architect is instructed to use Universal Design through-out for the ease and <br /> comfort of the residents. The residents will be wearing pendants, a safety device, for the <br /> wanderers. The building will be locked down with a call system and alarm. The building will <br /> adhere to the fire codes incorporating a sprinkler system and it will have a monitoring system <br /> for the needy residents. This is a different type project from West Oaks and as I do not think <br /> West Oaks is particularly appealing; I do not wish to design it after their design and colors. <br /> As I stated in my narrative the employees numbers are variable. There will be a <br /> Professional director, a full time nurse who is on call full time and at the facility part time, a <br /> cook and several personal care attendants. One PCA is needed for every 5 residents, so the <br /> number of residents will determine the number of employees. There will be some full time <br /> and some part time employees. <br /> I believe from the from the drawings submitted by Oliver Surveying and Engineering, Inc <br /> has allotted more than the minimum amount of trees. A Landscape Architect will design the <br /> green space and resident requirements. A sprinkling system will be utilized. I don't know exactly <br /> what you mean by Headlight screening is required adjacent to the parking lot along the south <br /> property line,but I think the 6' fencing should be adequate for that. <br /> 4 <br />
