Senior Living


With decades of senior living construction experience, we understand how important it is to work together to create an environment that sets your team up to successfully provide great care, unique amenities, and the opportunity for continued growth.

Our process begins with listening. We want to understand your vision and priorities first, as this will help us to better serve you. Then we provide a meticulously detailed plan for how our team will turn your vision into a reality. Building for senior living is never one-size-fits-all; our tailored approach accounts for the budget, schedule, and organizational demands unique to your circumstances.

Whether we are working within an existing building for a remodel or expansion, or we are building a brand new facility, you can count on Horst to deliver quality craftsmanship and courteous professionalism at every stage. We work across the senior living spectrum, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing environments. Our team will help guide you and your residents through the construction process to bring value and ease throughout your project.

Successfully Navigating Project Challenges

“We had several projects going simultaneously. Each of them had its own challenges, as every project does, but I think that Horst management from top to bottom really stepped up to the plate for us,” Stevens recounts. “Out of the three projects that we completed, this definitely was the best one.”

Prioritizing Senior Living’s Unique Challenges

Respectful Work

Horst Construction keeps worksites clean and organized to ensure efficiency and minimal disruption. We seal off areas to control dust and debris, maintaining a safe environment while our team expertly contains and mitigates issues throughout the project. From appropriate directional signage to noise containment techniques, Horst will pay attention to and respectfully address all the ways a construction project may impact your residents and staff.

Relational Advocacy

Horst fosters strong relationships through open communication and collaboration, aligning construction with the goals and needs of your facility. We prioritize advocacy on your behalf and will empower the entire team with communication tools to keep everyone updated in real-time. We hold resident town halls to keep your residents informed and engaged in the process while providing answers to their questions or concerns.

Awareness of Where We Are

When we are working in the senior living environment, we understand that we are working in the homes and living spaces of your residents. With a construction process that is proactive and adaptable, Horst guides your project’s progress with minimal impact. We respect quiet hours, neighbors, and high-traffic areas to create a seamless experience for residents and staff.
