South Coast Improvement completes renovations at Standish Village

Dorchester, MA South Coast Improvement Co. finished a renovation project at the Standish Village, a Senior Living Residences facility located at 1190 Adams St. in the cities Lower Mills neighborhood.

The project featured the complete renovation of common areas on the first floor as well as a new entrance to the memory care wing and a new concrete pad leading into the building. Public rest rooms on the first floor were relocated to accommodate a larger private dining room and a new reception desk.

Additional work included new and custom millwork, paint, flooring and new lighting. This included custom millwork in the activity room and a new sitting area in the memory care unit.

The $570,000 project began in December 2016.

“We take all renovations in occupied space seriously, but even more so when we work in a Memory Care Unit. Residents there have some challenges and a renovation project has the potential to cause some distress if not handled properly,” said Tom Quinlan, president of South Coast Improvement. “We coordinated very closely and frequently with staff to ensure as little disruption as possible. Both from that standpoint and the quality of work, I would deem this a successful project.”
