The community was co-developed with Community Housing Partners Corporation. The project design includes universal design of all apartments and the incorporation of “green” design thus utilizing energy and water conservation measures; selection of sustainable materials for durability and life cycle cost efficiency. The design is by Colin M. Arnold, Architect and certified LEED 2.0 Accredited Professional. The design incorporates community space which is conducive for health services, screenings and nutritional classes and therapeutic services for physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The green space includes a small playground for children of all abilities. The design promotes intergenerational contact and support while focusing on the needs of the elderly and disabled in an intergenerational context. The architectural design includes space to provide opportunities for intergenerational contact.
The comprehensive community-based approach to enable the elderly to age in place focuses on assistance at both the community and individual level. The elderly service plan includes a revised Morehead Area Transit pattern to link elderly to the Gateway Area Aging programs located at the Senior Citizens Center, including a nutritious noonday meal, transportation to the doctor/drug store and other elderly wrap-around services. Boodry Place is located in close proximity (within walking distance) to the grocery, post office, bank, hospital, doctor’s offices, dialysis center and pharmacy. The University of Kentucky, Center for Rural Health Care’s HomePlace Program will provide lay healthcare workers to visit people at home to assess health needs and then serve as advocates for their clients by providing information about available care, helping to fill out paperwork or obtain medications, or even arranging transportation to medical appointments. Services for persons with disabilities are tailored by age. For children from 0-3, First Steps is the service coordinator for the family. Services include evaluation and assessment; service planning and coordination; health services, including nursing and nutrition; assistive technology; therapeutic services, including physical, occupational; and speech therapy; development intervention; vision and hearing intervention.
