Kisco Senior Living, a provider of residential settings for seniors, has announced it is expanding to a second Utah location.
In further signs of the growing and unique housing demands of aging baby boomers, Carlsbad, Calif.-based Kisco recently acquired a 183-unit living facility in Sandy formerly known as Atria, 10970 S. 700 East.
Set on six acres, the complex of 122 independent and 61 assisted-living residences will be renamed Cedarwood at Sandy and brought under Kisco's management, which includes more than 3,500 units at facilities across seven Western and Southwestern states.
Kisco also bought an adjacent four-acre parcel in Sandy, where company officials plan to build a new 100-unit assisted-living and memory care center, to be called Cedar Court.
The privately owned company opened a 201-unit campus in 2014 known as Sagewood at Daybreak, a master-planned community in South Jordan, offering studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments with a variety of levels of living assistance for residents.
According to Kisco CEO and President Andy Kohlberg, the second site will extend the company's reach among customers seeking high-quality service, health care and wellness programs and amenity-rich residential settings.
"By operating two communities in the area with varying living options, we will be able to offer seniors and their families a broad array of choices to find the ideal lifestyle that they are looking for," Kohlberg said in a statement.
Founded in 1990, Kisco is a family-owned business operating 22 senior-living sites in Utah, California, Hawaii, Florida, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
