new senior housing project planned by Action Pact

(KNZA)--A new senior housing project is planned in Hiawatha.

Manhattan, Kansas-based Action Pact has announced approval of the company’s purchase of the Maple Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

According to a news release from the company, Action Pact will take over management of the Hiawatha facility in the third quarter of this year, and intends to bring what the news release calls 'its trademark Household Model” to the existing organization as early as first quarter of next year.

New households will be built on the Maple Heights campus; and upon completion, current residents will transition from the existing building to the new ones.

The design of the $5.4 million first phase will feature what the company calls “distinctive and well-appointed residential suites designed to reflect family-style living” with 20 private residences within each household.

Residents will live in private rooms, which will open to a larger household that will include a kitchen, living room, and dining room. The release says the new environment is architecturally designed to create a “home within a home” experience.

Action Pact Co-Founder and CEO Steve Shields says the company was formed to bring a new perspective—one that celebrates the spirit of the individual and creates spaces that result in every resident having the home life they want.

Action Pact had originally planned to construct a senior housing project on Aztec Street in the northern portion of Hiawatha.
