26 new homes to be added to Sylvania-area senior living community

Trilogy Health Services plans to add 13 two-unit patio homes to the Lakes of Sylvania, a senior living community just south of Sylvania-Metamora Road and west of Mitchaw Road.

“We are excited to bring this addition to our facility here in Sylvania, a community with a rapidly growing population in the 65-plus age group,” said Emily Culbertson, executive director of the Lakes of Sylvania. “Currently, there are not a lot of options within our five-mile radius that cater to the needs and desires of our senior residents.”

Patio homes typically share a common wall but no common interior spaces. They may or may not have a patio and they tend to be energy-efficient. Their open layouts avoid narrow hallways and doorways, making them easier for mobility-impaired people to get around in.

The homes planned for Sylvania Township will come in two villa layouts, a 1,250-square-foot one-bedroom home with a den and a 1,450-square-foot two-bedroom home.

Prices for the new homes were not available, but comparably-sized homes in the Lakes of Sylvania development start at $3,319 per month for those who live independently.

All maintenance, from changing light bulbs to shoveling snow, is handled by Trilogy. Residents can choose to receive a meal plan and will be given priority admission for short-term rehabilitation and other services.

“We understand that the incoming generation highly values their independence and wishes to maintain it for as long as possible,” Ms. Culbertson said. “Our new facility is designed to support this desire, offering a product that enables residents to live independently while having the assurance that care is just around the corner on our campus whenever it is needed.”

Trilogy operates senior living facilities in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

“Our goal is to deliver a comprehensive continuum of care in underserved markets while expanding options in our established communities,” said  said Leigh Ann Barney, president and CEO of Trilogy Health Services. “We look forward to launching these exciting developments, creating new career opportunities, and meeting the growing demand for high-quality senior living accommodations and care.”
