Boodry Place…
A Multigenerational Community
"Opening Summer 2008"
Boodry Place is a residential rental community to be developed in
downtown Morehead at the intersection of US 60 and Kentucky 32. This

The community is being 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 will include a
small playground for children of all abilities. The design will promote
intergenerational contact and support while focusing on the needs of the
elderly and disabled in an intergenerational context. The architectural
design will include 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.

Boodry Place. What a difference!
Aug 2007:
Construction is progressing well at Boodry Place. While the outside of
the structure has not changed much over the past month plumbing, electric,
HVAC, and insulation are being completed in the interior. Our Contractor,
Community Housing Partners tells us we are ahead of schedule.
July 2006: The City of Morehead has obtained and spent a CDBG grant to acquire
the property, demolish structures and relocate residents and businesses.
The property has been deeded to Frontier. Kentucky Housing awarded housing
credits and AHTF in June 2006. The construction should begin by late fall
2006. The construction timeline is 18 months and occupancy is anticipated
Fall 2008. Frontier is making a $4 million investment in downtown
Morehead.
