The Orchard Assisted Living Home provides a unique outlook on a residential approach to assisted living by creating “home” units for the residents. Borrowing concepts found in nature, the program was based on the growth of tree rings, strengthening the tree as it grows. The key outcomes that The Orchard seeks to achieve include stimulating, reviving, and creating memory, strengthening community among residents and staff, and provide a place of self-healing for the residents, battling boredom, loneliness, and helplessness. These outcomes are achieved by several main factors throughout the site. Inner courtyards and DIRTT plant walls have been used throughout each building to create green space inside. The interior finishes contain many different textures, enticing the residents to touch, feel, and trigger memories. It is not only a beautiful site for the aging population, but also a wonderful place for members of the larger community to visit one of the many features on site, including walkable gardens, several outdoor cooking spaces, gym, theater, salon, and more. Residents of varying capacities can be accommodated due to various specialties in each place of residence, including individual units for memory care, skilled nursing, and assisted living. By utilizing these key concepts and borrowing a few rules from nature’s tree rings, The Orchard seeks to be a fully functioning medical facility that feels just like home.

SITE AMENITIES
Promoting community, memory, and self-healing. A beach view and grilling station provides a little more privacy for residents to enjoy the beautiful setting.
A putting green brings Bandon’s fame for golfing to The Orchard, giving residents something fun to keep them active and outdoors.
The clock tower common area promote community by serving as a central meeting space, complete with a slightly raised stage for live performances.
Outdoor grilling areas and wildflower gardens close to main buildings provide safe access to nature. Residents will feel comfortable venturing out into nature if they know they can be seen by staff.
The central courtyard in the main building provides nature to residents and staff who spend all day inside. Large glass walls separate the courtyard from the interior, forming minimal boundary between the two.
The Roundabout located near the site entrance serves as a place for potential expansion, perhaps as an outdoor farmer’s market, bringing members of Bandon’s community to The Orchard.
