DESIGN SHOWCASE
MEMORY CARE
Westminster Oaks Tallahassee, Fla.
Submitted by: Westminster Communities of Florida Orlando, Fla., THW Design Atlanta, and Cook Brothers Inc. Midway, Fla.
Westminster Oaks offers a full continuum of
care, including independent living, assisted
living, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation. The
new single-story, 32-bed memory care building
was strategically placed within the existing
community and includes two distinct neighborhoods,
a full-service kitchen, controlled-access,
enhanced outdoor memory garden courtyard
with interactive opportunities, varied seating
environments, and gathering spaces that include
an outdoor kitchen and gazebo.
Westminster boasts a unique and innovative
partnership of research and learning with
Florida State University Osher Lifelong Learning
Institute, keeping residents, families, and staff
eternally young at heart, while being an inspiration
for students and teachers.
THW Design created two equal neighborhoods
to provide ample meandering opportunities for
the memory care residents, all surrounding a
memory care courtyard that allows for natural
light and connection to the outdoors. Another
important owner-driven challenge was maximizing
unit efficiency and space allocation to keep
costs down to target middle market residents,
providing required clearances for ADA and best
care practices, and creating an inviting, comfortable
interior.
The neighborhoods were created by each having
a dedicated country kitchen dining room and
living room, which is the heart of each neighborhood-adjacent
but separated and overlooking
the memory care courtyard. Each neighborhood
has lounge areas nestled amongst the corridors,
avoiding long stretches, that are broken up with
window seats and pockets of seating. In addition
to providing natural light and visual cues, these
