PHILOSOPHY
Today’s seniors want to be purposeful, stay engaged, and continue to make
a difference in the world. Our job as a contractor specializing in this
industry is to build environments that contribute to making that happen.
We help our providers rewrite the rules of aging so that residents can
enjoy life the way it’s meant to be lived regardless of age.
WEAVERCOOKE is building to meet the needs of a revolution. America
and the world are growing older. With older Americans soon to
outnumber their children, we’re seeing vast opportunities and great
challenges as we seek to help older adults continue to live with meaning
and purpose.
With greater longevity—often with extended periods of physical and
mental health—that “short period of retirement” has lengthened into
decades. Educational levels exceed those of generations past, and we
enjoy a degree of affluence undreamed of not too long ago.
For us, partnering with CCRCs across the southeast is much more than
constructing buildings, it’s about being invited onto senior housing
campuses and building spaces where people can enjoy living out their
retirement years.
OUR EXPERIENCE
As a contractor specializing in habitational construction – building places
people will live, whether for a night or a lifetime, we have developed an area of
expertise in building senior housing, specializing in continuing care retirement
communities (CCRCs).
We build independent living, including apartment style buildings and single-
family homes, as well as assisted living and skilled nursing centers. We can
also help manage selections and modifications and manage the myriad of
decisions that residents encounter as they transition from their home of many
years to a new home on a CCRC campus. Our team understands the nuances
involved for residents making this transition and is here to help make the
move a smooth one.
We have managed many projects where residents are currently living on
campus and we know how to minimize daily disruption on the campus and in
the residents’ everyday lives.

St Joseph of the Pines
Memory Care and Clubhouse
WEAVERCOOKE renovated about one quarter of St Joseph of the Pine’s 43,000 square foot
clubhouse. The fine dining was changed to an open concept kitchen, the library was renovated into a
classic English pub with fireplace, pool table, and TV’s, and a coffee bar was added. Renovations to the
clubhouse were made while the rest of the building was operational, with extensive care to minimize
disruptions for residents.
WEAVERCOOKE also constructed a 7,200 square foot addition to add ten memory care beds to the
campus. The addition features a community living room with a fireplace and large windows, as well as
a kitchen and a beautiful courtyard that looks out on the long leaf pines that surround the community.
Twin Lakes Cottages
WEAVERCOOKE has constructed over 230 cottages and villas to date for Twin Lakes. We
are currently providing construction for phase eight of their expansion plan, which includes
twenty-eight custom cottages. Each cottage will be single story with three-bedrooms, and
range in size from 3,000 -4,000 sf. The cottages also come with custom upgrades, ranging
from architectural options through finish upgrades and mechanical upgrades.
Other successfully completed projects at Twin Lakes include renovations to the Boland
Community Center as well as the construction of the Coble Healthcare Center, Twin Lakes
Memory Care Facility, and a 24-unit independent living facility.
The Forest at Duke
Additions and Renovations
Continuing a long relationship of expansions and renovations at The Forest at Duke, WEAVERCOOKE
provided construction services for this expansion to the campus. We were initially contracted to build
15 new Independent Living cottages with resident selections. Once those were complete, we worked
on sitework that ranged from additional parking and paved walking trails to bioretention ponds.
This led into work on the dining, entrance, and fitness area. The new dining has a cafeteria-style
serving line, a pizza oven, a salad bar, and an open kitchen fine dining area. WEAVERCOOKE also
added a bar and lounge, library, media room, gift shop, and offices for fitness employees. Several areas,
including the fitness center, marketing offices, and IT offices, were given extensive renovations.
