Assisted Living and Parking

When driving becomes unsafe for seniors, assisted living communities offer reliable transportation to nearby shopping areas. One assisted living community, an addition to a shopping center and a short walk to the local grocery store, consists of approximately 12,000 square feet and has the capability to accommodate up to 40 residents, and if you are also looking for great senior living communities there are also some great resources for this at sites such as www.chelseaseniorliving.com/locations/new-jersey/toms-river/ online.

Advantage Properties operates a large, developed assisted living development on 46 acres on Monterey Road in St. Helena. The development includes two buildings (72 apartments and 475 residential rooms), five nursing homes, a community park, and a pool. A six-lane parkway runs along Monterey Road and offers easy access to the shopping center and public transportation. Monterey Road is wheelchair accessible and access to Monterey Road Shopping Center is available.

Parking

With increased demand for on-site parking, parking on the Monterey Road Shopping Center property was created with the creation of three garage facilities and approximately 3,000 available parking spaces. This allowed for approximately 900 spaces for on-site parking only, and approximately 1,700 spaces for parking in dedicated parking garages. When driving from shopping center to shopping center, elderly residents can leave their cars in garages near shopping centers as often as possible. However, residents may request an appointment to pick up their vehicles at certain times for increased convenience.

In recent years, changes in San Antonio’s budget have required additional on-site parking. A pilot program was launched to assess the demand for on-site parking on Monterey Road Shopping Center and to assess changes in the cost of parking. The results of this pilot were found to show a consistent positive effect on the economics of off-site parking by allowing for on-site parking to be more competitive.

On July 1, 2015, improvements were made to the Monterey Road Shopping Center Parking Project. With funding from the Texas Department of Transportation, The Monterey Rd. Shopping Center Parking Project Monterey City Development Plan Implementation Update and Complete Streets Planning Fund approved The Monterey Rd. Shopping Center Parking Project Estimated Cost, Expenditures and Cash Outflows. The project approved a $1.4 million grant to be used for improvements to the commercial parking garage and commercial surface parking lot located on Monterey Road. Construction of the project began on May 1, 2015. This project was made possible through a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation, Capital Improvement Program, Division 13, Texas Highways and Transportation Department.
