Architect

Terry Broomsgrove Architect AIBC, MRAIC

Chernoff Thompson Architects North

Principal

Terry brings over 30 years experience in project delivery in Northern British Columbia.

He is a well-rounded architect, delivering small and large projects in the Commercial,

Institutional, and Health sectors from interior renovations for health care clinics, RCMP

facilities, and civic libraries; to new buildings such as the Prince George District Energy

building, administration building for the Mining Industry, and an Ambulance station. In

addition to leading the Prince George office, he brings a client focused

communication, strong technical background and interest in design to all projects.

Market Opportunity

Target Market

The ideal resident will be over 55 years old, wanting to remain independent even if

unable to perform one or more of the daily necessities that are required to maintain a

healthy and enjoyable life.

Although the focus will be on attracting residents locally, with BC being a nation-wide

destination for retirees, there will be an effort to strategically target and attract

resident from across Canada.

Competitive Advantage

The Prince George Seniors Care Communities will be “best practice” assisted living,

complex care and memory care facilities that will strive to differentiate itself from

existing models in terms of facility layout, interior/exterior design and methods of

service delivery. Instead of large institutional-feeling designs that are both cold and

12

sterile, the communities will emphasize a homelike feel that marries the comforts of

home with some of the oversight and personal care consistent with a nursing

community. Residents will have access to assistance as required for daily living, but

without that care becoming the focal point of their existence.

The Prince George Seniors Care Community Phase 1 model concept could offer

unbundled and bundled services. This will be a key point of differentiation from other

assisted living facilities, which either do not offer unbundled service options, or have

not taken full advantage of what services could be offered. With the Prince George

Seniors Care Community Phase 1 model, residents will no longer need to leave the

premises each time they wish to enjoy a gourmet coffee, a glass of wine at the bar, a

new seasonal shirt or the latest movie releases in a theatre setting. The concept is to

create a unique village-like experience for the residents where they can enjoy added

leisure services without having to leave the premise.

Services Provided

Accommodations to Residents

Assisted Living purpose if desired (phase 1) is designed for seniors who need assistance

13

work/life is challenging. Our Health and Wellness manager will welcome and prepare

a full program insuring staff and clients a safe, enjoyable environment.
