Retirement Communities
	Master Plan - St. Andrews Retirement Community, Richmond, KY St. Andrews Retirement Community, is a joint effort by four Richmond churches to provide retirement living and health care facilities for the community. The development plan was started in 1989 and now includes 36.4 acres near downtown Richmond, adjacent to Million Park, a recreational facility designed for the elderly. The condominiums for independent living now total 61 residences, 73 Assisted Living apartments with full dining facilities and a 40 bed personal care facility, programmed for 120 skilled care beds.
	St. Andrews Condominiums - Independent Living Cottages Since the inception of St. Andrews, the condominiums have been very popular living units. Each dwelling is slab-on-grade brick veneer construction, designed to provide the atmosphere of a small home, with two bedrooms and a garage and a basement where topography permits. Every unit has a front porch to provide a place for neighbors to visit. For private relaxation a patio or deck is included. To date, 61 condominiums have been constructed.
	McCready Manor - Assisted Living Apartments This facility contains 73 apartments for assisted living. Each apartment has a patio or balcony, full kitchen and bath. A full commercial kitchen and dining room will accommodate about 100 residents and guests. A full time emergency call system to a nurses station is provided from each bedroom and bath in McCready Manor and in the Condominiums for Independent Living.
	Telford Terrace - Personal Care Facility Phase 1 of this facility serves 40 personal care beds, and includes common facilities, administration, dining and kitchen facilities for its full long range capacity of 120 skilled care beds. A unique feature of this facility are "atriums", in each wing, over 25' high with skylights bringing light into the center of this facility.

	Master Plan - Christian Village, Hopkinsville, KY In 1978, a master development plan was prepared for the entire campus, which had two existing facilities, a Health Center and Congregate Living facility. The goal of the plan was to provide a full range of retirement facilities from independent living to skilled nursing care. Since then the office has prepared plans for: an Intermediate Care wing for he Health Center, apartments for the elderly and townhouses for independent living.
	Chapel House - Elderly Apartments, Assisted Living This facility includes living and social activities to 86 retired families and individuals. Its architectural style matches the brick, roof pitch and theme of the other building on the campus.
	The Village - Cottages for Independent Living These cottages are one-story townhouses, each with front porch and patio. Parking is in front of the units. Patios face the interior green of the campus. Additional units, with garages, are under construction due to a strong demand for this type of retirement housing.
