Emerging national trends in senior living are revitalizing shuttered hotels, vacant hospitals and empty shopping centers into new residences for seniors seeking to reduce cost of living expenses and take up a community lifestyle. Veteran Services USA recently invested more than $30 million in Tulsa to repurpose and revitalize the permanently closed hotel at 7902 S. Lewis Ave, into a mixed-use property. Veteran Services USA and its hotel management partner, Commonwealth Hotels, has entered into a 20-year agreement with the premium, national brand Radisson Hotels. The property will soon reopen as a full-service hotel with 140 rooms on five of the 11 floors. The remaining floors will be reconstructed into 160 living spaces with a mix of studio and one-bedroom residences for senior Veterans. Hotels guests and residents will have separate entrances and elevators, but both will benefit from 24-hour, monitored security and amenities such as the fitness center, pool and restaurant. Additionally, Veteran Services USA is proud to open a new SarahCare Adult Daycare Center in the remaining 12,000 square feet of conference center space. A much-needed service available to all citizens in the Tulsa region caring for a senior loved one at home.
