Senior Living: Keswick Pines

Keswick Pines is a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) located in Whiting, NJ. Since 2001, JSR Associates, Inc., has been providing design services for the campus and its residents.

The renovation of the independent living dining room was based on reducing scale and creating distinct areas within the existing room parameters, through the usage of bulkheads, height changes, and light fixtures. The existing chairs and traditional candelabra chandeliers were utilized, and the finishes, lighting, window treatments, and artwork work was updated, while maintaining the requested tradition feel of the space.

The independent living corridors were renovated on the first floor. The existing building provided for low continuous corridors. JSR introduced better lighting and features along the corridor to break up the overwhelming length and improve the visibility within the corridor.

The dining room has warmth and the seniors have responded with enthusiasm to the finished space and enhanced dining experience.
