He stated it is going to cost $81 million and this will be their 15" memory care community in Upstate New York. He stated the project addresses 2 IDA justifications in his opinion. He stated the market study shows the occupancy in memory care communities is 100% so there is no access to memory care services for new residents or patients. He stated secondly they are going to be the only enhanced living licensed for assisted living in that part of the county. He stated enhanced living is at a higher level and individuals have longer periods of stay so they are not forced prematurely to a nursing home. He stated because of the but/for test that includes a PILOT, sales tax and mortgage tax abatement, they would not be able to do the project. He stated he has developed 2 other projects identical to this building about 4-5 years ago but with inflation, interest rates and increase in utilities it is just exorbitant. He stated his project costs have gone up about $5 million in about 4 years. He stated Alzheimer’s and dementia is a crisis in our country and there are about 6 million Americans with Alzheimer’s today. He stated that number could be doubled in the next 10 years. He stated as an industry they are locked into a custodial modal of care and institution. He stated at Peregrine they try to develop a unique philosophy for memory care and address those unique needs. He stated in 5 years how do they measure if they did an effective job with the patient? He stated they struggled to answer that question but at the end of the day, inspired by Dr. Alzheimer himself, he thinks the goal of the program is to help individuals maintain a connection to themselves. He stated they know the disease of Alzheimer’s you lose your short term memory and how you help maintain a connection to themselves is done through long term memory. He stated it can be anything from storytelling, biographies and lectures not to teach people but to remind them of what they already know. He stated they have a chapel in every one of their buildings and is one of the only nondenominational religious inspired programs in the State because long term memories can be more powerful in religious memories. He stated they are going to create 150 construction jobs over 9 months and between 50 and 100 permanent positions based on the increased census over the next 24-36 months. He stated those are jobs residents or patients. He stated secondly they are going to be the only enhanced living licensed for assisted living in that part of the county.

He stated those are jobs with full benefits and health insurance. Pat Hogan stated in the market study it says 26% of the 75 year old and plus population has some kind of Aizheimer’s. Stephen Bowman stated it is a really challenging question because if that is true based on his generation, he is 64 years old, then in 10 years we will have about 30 million Americans with Alzheimer’s or dementia. He stated maybe not quite that high but if it is, it is going to be devastating and will redefine characteristics of American society. He stated 30 million people living in institutional memory care communities is really going to have a dramatic effect on our finances, on our programming and on our family life. Pat Hogan stated there is certainly a great need and if anybody has been through it would understand. Susan Stanczyk asked where the other facilities are.
