A vacant shopping mall in upstate New York will soon have a second life, with senior housing and care setting the foundation.

That is such a cool project, the mall also includes a community center, adult daycare, and a nursing school! It was just completed last year, and I hope it serves as an example for similar projects all over the country. The same company has also adapted an old school and a hospital into senior apartments.

"The development converted a former Sears department store into 73 apartments and constructed a new four-story building with 84 apartments — all of which are for residents 55 and older earning at or below 60% of the area’s median income.

Residents will have access to three open-air courtyards with community gardening space, two grilling areas, a fitness room, and a community room. Officials add that all apartments are fitted with an emergency pull cord system and grab bars.

Officials say 78 apartments are reserved for households at risk of homelessness who will receive on-site support through Rochester General Hospital’s ElderONe program, which is funded through the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative and administered by the New York State Department of Health. Services include identifying primary health needs, legal and financial assistance programs, meal and nutrition programs, counseling programs, behavior health, social services, transportation, plus referral of eligible individuals for Medicare or Medicaid.

The former mall is now home to the 41,000 square-foot Irondequoit Community Center and Rochester Regional Health’s Isabella Graham Hart School of Nursing."
