Well-Spring, a single-site Life Plan Community, started out like many communities
25 years ago with relatively modest common
areas-including a small multipurpose room,
a single dining room, a very small bar, and
a single arts and crafts room. Well-Spring
has experienced significant growth in its
independent living population in recent years
and felt it was time for a major upgrade of
community amenities.
An extraordinary component of this
expansion is a 338-seat auditorium designed
specifically for seniors. Instead of the typical
flat-floor multipurpose room, Well-Spring
wanted a space where all members of the audience are able to see and hear as well as possible, and with the ambience of a high-quality
performing arts venue. This will be a space
where residents can participate in and attend
educational talks, performances, resident/
staff meetings, and more. The theater can accommodate up to 63 wheelchairs. Acoustics
and systems were specially designed to suit
this population and its needs.
Another key part of the project is a reenvisioning of the community's dining services. Where before there was one traditional
dining room with wait service, Well-Spring
will now add a bistro with an open kitchen
and a market-stall service approach for
casual dining. The bar will be relocated and
expanded to bring people out of their rooms
and into a more sociable environment.
Site considerations dictated the theater be
located on the same level as the primary dining and commons areas, leaving space below
for resident activities including art studios
and a woodworking shop.
