The Covington

This $81.9 million dollar project consists of a Continuing Care Retirement Community with 24 Independent Living Cottages (units from 1,350 to 1,945 sf), Independent Living Facility with 150 units (each unit is 827 to 1,615 square feet in size), a 30 Unit Assisted Living Facility and a 24 unit Skilled Nursing Facility. There is also a two story subterranean garage below the Independent Living Facility.

The Covington has recently been featured in the Southern California Healthcare Construction Executive Review. To view a reprint of the article, click here. (You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the reprint. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, click here.)

The campus boasts state of the art amenities including a library, art studio with kiln, billiards and card room, indoor swimming pool, fitness center, wellness center, cocktail lounge, beauty salon, mini-store, ATM machine, TV studio, business offices, a classroom and conference room. In addition, there is a rose garden, fountain, putting green and park within the community. Residents will enjoy satellite TV, high-speed internet access and website hosted community functions.

A state of the art wireless Emergency Call system is utilized within this community. Thie system consists of emergency call pendants for each resident, intercoms, emergency buttons and motion detectors. The Emergency Call system, when activated, sends a signal to a central computer monitoring station that will alert the appropriate facility or outside personnel to respond.

The Covington is located in the newly incorporated city of Aliso Viejo which is also a Shea Homes "planned community". This project faced a unique challenge as the Plan Check process was started with the County of Orange and completed with the City of Aliso Viejo. Essentially, this project required two (2) plan checks. Intelisyn assisted in developing relations with the new City of Aliso Viejo, and the County of Orange, to facilitate the plan check process.

Intelisyn is providing a full range of Project Management services for this project, and additionally, is developing a comprehensive FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment) product database to ensure that the facility acquires the most up-to-date products and amenities for its opening in 2004. Intelisyn maintains a full time presence at the jobsite, documenting day to day activities with digital photos and video.
