ARCADIA

SENIOR LIVING

Arcadia Senior Living is a 56,000-square-foot, 68-unit ground-up assisted living facility in Happy Valley, Oregon, built by JHC Companies in 2016. As an experienced senior living and healthcare construction contractor, JHC delivered a high-quality community designed to support comfort, safety, and long-term care for residents.

This locally owned and operated senior living community offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans, along with a full range of amenities including a commercial kitchen, dining hall, recreation room, hair salon, and on-site parking. JHC led construction with a focus on durability, efficiency, and collaboration—ensuring the project was completed to meet the needs of both residents and operators.

From preconstruction through completion, JHC Companies provided strategic planning, cost control, and schedule management, resulting in a modern assisted living facility built to serve the Happy Valley community for years to come.

PROJECT CHALLENGES

The Arcadia Senior Living project required careful coordination to construct a residential-style assisted living community that meets the operational and regulatory requirements of senior care facilities.

The design prioritized comfortable private apartments while integrating shared dining areas, wellness spaces, and activity rooms that support daily programming and resident engagement. Construction also required durable materials and accessible building systems to accommodate mobility needs, healthcare support services, and the long-term operational demands of a senior living environment.
