Cedarhurst Living will break ground on its newest senior living community in the City of St. Charles, Missouri, on Oct. 15.
Cedarhurst of St. Charles, a $17.5 million project, will be a 99,560-square-foot, 99-unit assisted-living and memory care facility at 1800 First Capitol Drive in St. Charles. The facility will be across from Lindenwood University’s flagship campus as a part of its University Commons development.
Although senior living on and near university and college campuses is a proven concept, with more than 50 such developments across the country, Cedarhurst of St. Charles will be the first in the St. Louis region.
Cedarhurst of St. Charles will provide benefits to its residents, Lindenwood students, alumni and staff, as well as the residents of the city of St. Charles and the surrounding area. This will include a lifelong learning program and access to university sporting and cultural events for Cedarhurst residents, and the creation of internships and other programs to educate Lindenwood students on issues relevant to the growing population of seniors, including caring for persons with memory loss issues like Alzheimer’s Disease.
