Americare plans Midwestern senior living complex in Lawrence
Americare files plans for a 46 unit assisted living center at Peterson Road and Monterey Way in northwest Lawrence. The project includes 30 unit general assisted living and 16 unit memory care facilities on about 20 acres, with a potential phase two adding memory care and independent living cottages. Zoning would shift to RM 12 with conditions to limit traditional apartment development. Americare operates 15 Kansas facilities, with Lawrence likely its largest Kansas market.

Private projects include Marriott Town Place hotel and two Walmart-area complexes totaling over 30 million. Clinton Lake resort proposal by LodgeWell Resorts is deemed unfeasible, though officials see potential for a resort in today’s market. City Manager confirms ongoing talks with state wildlife and parks about a feasible lake resort.
