Clarendale® of Schererville is Celebrated at Ribbon Cutting/Grand Opening

Ryan Companies US, Inc., Life Care Services®, An LCS Company, and Harrison Street Real Estate Capital, along with community officials from Schererville, celebrated the completion of construction and grand opening for Clarendale of Schererville, a $40 million, 177-residence senior living community in Schererville, Indiana. Development team members and Clarendale staff welcomed Town officials and other guests to the event held on June 7, 2017.

Clarendale® of Schererville, the hospitality-inspired community at 7770 Burr Street is the third Clarendale® senior living community from developer-builder Ryan Companies.  According to Ryan Companies, the development created nearly 500 construction jobs. Approximately 85 permanent staff positions will have been created when the senior living community is fully operational.

“In expanding our Clarendale brand across the country, we have sought markets like Schererville where area seniors will thrive in a Clarendale community.  The continuum of care offered at Clarendale works hand-in-hand with engaging activities and high-quality amenities and finishes,” said Dave Erickson, Director of Real Estate Development, Ryan Companies. “The movie theater, dining choices, arts room, fitness center and pub are a few of the exceptional spaces that will make Clarendale of Schererville a vibrant housing choice in Northwest Indiana.”

Clarendale of Schererville has been built on approximately 9.0 acres at the northwest corner of U.S. Route 30/Lincoln Highway and Burr Street. The three-story community is comprised of 85 independent living residences, 38 assisted living residences and 54 memory care residences. The residences range from approximately 720 square feet to 1,300 square feet for independent living, and from approximately 300 square feet to 890 square feet for assisted living and memory care. The finishes throughout the community include granite kitchen countertops in the independent and assisted living residences. 

“Ensuring quality of life of those who put their trust in us has always been essential to LCS,” said Peter Muhlbach, Senior Vice President/Director of Senior Living Management for the rental division at Life Care Services.  “Feeling safe, supported, connected and cared for all are important components in each of our communities, and will be realized by the residents at our newest community, Clarendale of Schererville.” 

Clarendale of Schererville adheres to the quality of the Clarendale brand and offers three hospitality-based lifestyle neighborhoods — independent living, assisted living and memory care — all under one roof.

A movie theater room for regular movie nights and a crafts room have been added to an exciting list of social amenities. Residents of the community will also enjoy a bistro, a pub and billiards room, a club room and library, living rooms with fireplaces, a vaulted multipurpose room, a wellness center with a full-service salon, a fitness room and a private patio and courtyard.

Maintenance-free living with well-appointed common areas to promote socialization and recreation provide Clarendale of Schererville residents life-enriching opportunities. Housekeeping, maintenance and transportation as well as restaurant-style and private dining with chef’s specialties are among the convenient services to be offered. Covered and surface parking for 152 automobiles will also be available.

Life Care Services® of Des Moines, Iowa, will manage the community.
