Congress Building Corp. of Peabody, MA recently completed construction of The Residence at Riverbend, a senior housing community located in Ipswich, MA. Owned and operated by LCB Senior Living, LLC, the facility opened to residents on December 2 and is Ipswich’s only Assisted Living, Independent Living and Memory Care community.
PEABODY, MA – Congress Building Corp. and LCB Senior Living, LLC announce the completion of The Residence at Riverbend, a state-of-the-art senior housing community located at 149 County Street in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
Congress Building Corp., a full service construction firm based in Peabody, Massachusetts, provided construction management services for the 73,674 sf community which features 53 studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments for traditional assisted living and independent living, and 22 studio and shared apartments in a memory care wing for residents with early Alzheimer’s Disease and other memory impairments.
Owned and operated by LCB Senior Living, LLC of Norwood, Massachusetts and designed by The Architectural Team of Chelsea, Massachusetts, The Residence at Riverbend opened its doors to residents on December 2. “The Riverbend project came out great. The design is striking and the building looks phenomenal. Our customer is now doing a great job serving the project’s residents, a much-needed service in the community. We are proud of what we were able to accomplish with the Town of Ipswich, and are thrilled that is now a reality. And most of all, we are thankful to our valued repeat customer LCB, with whom we are successfully collaborating on four projects,” noted Congress CEO William Nicholson.
The Residence at Riverbend’s independent and assisted living apartments feature private living space with efficiency kitchens. Residents enjoy three meals daily served in a restaurant-style dining room, 24-hour security, as well as access to a variety of other bright and spacious common areas including activities spaces, computer rooms and a library. In addition to these amenities, residents in the assisted living apartments are provided with assistance with activities of daily living such as medication management or help with dressing and bathing. The Reflections memory care neighborhood offers specialized care and cognitive programming and a full range of daily services and activities as well as a separate, secure outdoor area for recreation.
The Residence at Riverbend is situated on a 15-acre site that stretches from County Road to the Ipswich River. Congress and LCB have donated more than two acres of riverfront land to the Ipswich River Watershed Association. As part of this plan, an access road was constructed for public use for direct access to the Ipswich River and additional open space land has been placed in a permanent conservation restriction. The road and three-space parking area will be open seasonally for members of the community to take canoes or kayaks out on the Ipswich River.
