Maricopa seniors could see a new housing option emerge.
Tortosa resident William Jones submitted pre-application paperwork to construct an assisted living center at White-and-Parker Road and Wild Horse Trail, according to public records obtained by InMaricopa this week.
“As our population continues to age, the demand for supportive housing solutions that caters to the needs of the elderly individuals are becoming increasingly urgent,” the project narrative read. “Many seniors require assistance with daily living activities … yet prefer to remain in a homelike environment rather than in a traditional hospital or nursing home setting.”
The proposal called for up to 40 residents to live in the 20,000-square-foot facility dubbed Maricopa Community Assisted Living Center. Building plans detail 40 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a cafeteria, therapy services, a beauty salon and laundry center.
