-
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - With a focus on Veterans, LandSouth Construction, a Jacksonville, Fla. based general contractor specializing in multifamily, senior housing and mixed use developments, helped celebrate the grand opening of Phase One and Two of American House Senior Living Community in Bonita Springs, Fla.

AH Bonita Springs LLC is the developer and Progressive Associates the architect of phase one and two of the $14,101,099 senior community.

“American House is a quality developer with a lot of experience with nearly 4,300 senior living units across nearly 40 communities, making it one of the top-25 largest senior living providers in the U.S,” said LandSouth’s Vice President of Operations Joe Passkiewicz.

Nestled on 25 acres, American House is a three phase senior living campus including independent and assisted living with full kitchens as well as a forty unit memory care building.  The project consists of 60 one bedroom, 25 studio, and five two bedroom units in the first phase, and 40 one bedroom memory care residences in the second phase.

LandSouth will begin construction of the third phase in September that will feature and independent living building with larger apartments and concierge services.

American House is located adjacent to the Imperial River in Old Bonita Springs. Amenities include full restaurant service, resident activity rooms, aerobic swimming pool, lake walking path, fountains, gardens and exterior patios and verandas.

There’s a kitchen in every private apartment along with cozy community areas throughout the grounds. A Life Enrichment Director plans a wide range of cultural, social and recreational programming. Resident services also include 24-hour on-site staff and scheduled transportation. Laundry and housekeeping services are also available.

American House residents will have their own private bleachers and complimentary parking for the softball games that will be played at Bonita Springs Community Park on Pine Avenue. Last January more than 1,000 watched the Wounded Warriors Amputee Softball Team take on squads from the Lee County Sheriff's Office and the Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District.

The idea that came from Estero, Fla. resident David Van Sleet, a retired employee of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The Wounded Warriors have played games against politicians, sports stars and television celebrities since the team's inception in 2011.
Most of the team's 30 members are bilateral amputees — missing a leg below the knee — while some are missing a hand or arm.
