Senior Communities Planned for Indiana

May 29, 2012

News Release

DES MOINES, Iowa – LCS, a leading provider of senior lifestyle services, has entered into a joint venture agreement with Mainstreet Property Group, LLC, of Cicero, Indiana to own and operate the first of several skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation and assisted living communities.

Mainstreet, which will act as the real estate owner/developer, has thirteen similar communities currently in operation. The first joint venture community, Wabash Health and Wellness Suites in Wabash, IN is currently under development and is projected to open in January 2013 on 30+ acres. The 67,000 square foot project, which will create approximately 140 jobs, will have 70 skilled nursing and short-term rehabilitation suites with 30 assisted living apartments. With construction costs of $15 million, the City of Wabash projects the Wabash Health and Wellness Suites will create an economic impact of $200 million in Wabash County over the next ten years.

The state-of-the-art community has also partnered with Living Well in Wabash to create a satellite location for the local senior center for Wabash County and has also partnered with the Wabash County Museum to bring their historical displays into the building for its residents as well as the local community.

Three other sites in Indiana are also part of the initiative: Westfield, Avon, and Crawfordsville. Indianapolis-based Shiel Sexton is the general contractor in Wabash; Meyer Najem Construction of Fishers, Indiana is the general contractor for Westfield, Avon and Crawfordsville.

The communities will be managed by Life Care Services, an LCS Company from their division office located in Greenwood, Indiana.

"LCS provides long-term care and rehabilitation services in the majority of communities we manage," notes Rick Exline, Executive Vice President/Director of Operations Management of LCS. "This prototype allows us to provide these services in smaller cities that have not had access to assisted living and rehabilitation in the past."

Exline continues, "LCS and Mainstreet have similar cultures, and both companies are committed to providing quality services in senior housing and healthcare."

"Mainstreet's goal is to create living spaces where seniors can receive the quality care they need while living in a place they can truly enjoy," said Zeke Turner, chairman and CEO of Mainstreet. "LCS is the perfect partner in providing high-quality, comfortable living spaces with access to a host of amenities."

"We are delighted to welcome LCS and Mainstreet to the Wabash community," said Bill Konyha, President & CEO of the Economic Development Group (EDG) of Wabash County. "LCS and Mainstreet have formed a great partnership, and EDG is proud to support them and this wonderful new amenity for our community."
