Malden to welcome new senior apartments
A site in Malden, which is two and a half acres in size and has been vacant for many years, will become the location for 80 senior housing units. It will be known as the Forestdale Park Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility and will be able to retain its historic designation.
There will be assisted living units with studio and one-bedroom apartments and a Memory-Support Unit with 18 beds. The Facility will offer numerous services to its residents, dependent on their individual needs. The cost of the project, which is expected to be completed in October 2017, will be $28m with all money coming from private investments.
The site was once considered a poor farm and became the McFadden Manor Nursing Home in 1955, and was run by the city. It was closed in 2009 and has been neglected since then. Developer VOA plans to restore and preserve the original building, as per the intention of the Malden Redevelopment Authority and the city.
According to Mayor Christenson, this project will be able to help those in the community in a fashion similar to that of McFadden, and also preserve a site in Malden that has historical significance for the city.
The developer might want to look to creating banners that can be posted at the site so residents will become aware of the plans and the endeavor to maintain the current building.
