2 Elevated yet accessible community delivers standout Senior Living in South Bend, IN Setting the Stage Mainstreet s vision for its new property in South Bend, Indiana was to create a community that is consistent with its industry-leading Next Generation model, while best serving the South Bend market. Mainstreet partnered with Aptura because of our track record of success in delivering in-demand design that meets its development goals and helps further define its brand identity.

3 Finding a Solution Model Assisted Living Studio Apartment Aptura collaborated with the architect to balance contemporary architecture with transitional design for aesthetics that appeal to the blended blue- and whitecollar Midwestern sensibilities of South Bend s market. The first impression of the lobby features the accessibility of transitional, cleanlined design. Statement carpeting anchors the space, while pops of warm teak wood and neutral finishes allow furnishings, unique art pieces and upholstery to be the focal points of the space. Being a large-scale, two-story lobby, Aptura took advantage of ample natural light and infused a residential scale with floor lamps and a cozy fireplace at the center of a conversational furniture grouping. Destinations just off the lobby include a grab-and-go café and an upscale pub with adjoining game room seating area. The café is part of the central hub of the community, giving opportunities for point-of-sale purchases and complimentary items that are convenient for residents, visitors and staff. The pub offers the feel of a tailored upscale club room. Rich patterned carpeting acts as a standout design element, while layers of bold accent furniture and metallic fixtures create a luxurious feel. Another pub upstairs offers a more laid-back vibe complete with TVs and décor specific to the nearby University of Notre Dame. A private dining area off the main dining space downstairs perpetuates the eclectic, transitional design. Host and hostess chairs elevate the space and bolster the residential feel for a unique dining and gathering space that feels special but not stuffy. Assisted Living Serving Kitchen Lounge The expansive upstairs lobby mimics the look of the main lobby with a more intimate, library feel. Custom shelving provides a rich focal point for the space and helps define a purposeful destination. Also upstairs, the assisted living serving kitchen supports daily dining with welcoming residential style. Here, durable commercial-grade cabinetry was made warm and residential with a strategic use of materials. Intimate table settings further reinforce the at-home feel. The salon immediately conveys a desirable destination where residents can treat themselves. Two-sided merchandising shelving at the entrance creates a unique and functional design element. Metallic sheers, applied to the inside of the storefront glass, soften the commercial appearance and add a layer of pampering luxury. A model assisted living studio apartment showcases the lifestyle that prospective residents can enjoy at Wellbrooke of South Bend. The layout is compact but functional, allowing for ample natural light. A neutral color palette provides breathing room for personal pops of color. Each studio apartment is complete with a kitchenette and private bathroom for convenient access to all the essentials aptura.net Seating Area 5
