Case Study: a leading assisted living and memory care community improves safety and capital planning with Rimkus Property Condition Assessment and infrared drone survey

a leading assisted living and memory care community maps 12-year capital needs and 4-year equipment replacements with Rimkus

Rimkus partnered with a leading assisted living and memory care community to address the challenge of proactively maintaining its aging infrastructure. The 10-year-old, 110,000-square-foot facility needed a thorough yet non-intrusive property condition assessment to identify immediate safety risks, plan for future capital expenditures, and evaluate its building envelope without disrupting its vulnerable residents.

The solution implemented by Rimkus combined a traditional Property Condition Assessment with an advanced infrared drone survey. This dual approach identified critical safety hazards, such as a non-compliant guardrail, and uncovered hidden building envelope defects like moisture intrusion and manufacturing issues in the roofing. The results provided the client with a prioritized, 12-year capital plan for targeted repairs, enabling significant cost savings through proactive planning and potential warranty claims, enhanced resident safety, and assured regulatory compliance.
