Senior Housing: Construction to start on $19.35M Fishers senior care facility
By Carrie Ritchie for Indy Star
Construction will begin next month on a large senior care facility planned for central Fishers.
Bloomington-based CarDon and Associates is developing the 108-bed facility, which will offer skilled nursing, assisted living and memory care, on a 33-acre site on the northeast corner of the Cumberland Road and the 116th Street intersection, just behind a Chase bank.
CarDon hopes the $19.35 million facility will be open by January 2012, Chief Operating Officer Connie Brewer said in an e-mail.
The company plans to build a second phase that could include independent living and medical office space.
The market will dictate when the next phase would be built, but it could cost between $20 million and $40 million, Brewer said.
At least two other senior care projects are under way in Fishers.
Construction on a nursing home on Allisonville Road between Eller Road and 106th Street is nearing completion. Fishers approved zoning earlier this year for an assisted living facility that would cater to older patients with dementia. That facility will be located on the north side of 116th Street, about a half-mile west of Brooks School Road.
