Warren Barr Lake County
Elevating Post-Hospital Care with Thoughtful, Hospitality-Inspired Design in Southeast Lake County
ML Group’s design-build expertise in healthcare and post-hospital care renovations was instrumental in shaping this modern rehabilitation facility in Southeast Lake County, a northern/northwest suburb of Chicago. This Warren Barr project included the redesign of public corridors, nursing stations, a state-of-the-art physical therapy room, patient rooms, and amenity spaces. Like other Warren Barr projects, the design emphasized hospitality-inspired aesthetics, elevating the experience beyond traditional healthcare and senior housing standards. Thoughtful finishes, upscale fixtures, and high-end design elements created a welcoming, comfortable environment supporting recovery and well-being.


Strategize. Healthcare Real Estate with a Purpose
Post-hospital care facilities require a unique approach to design and renovation—one that balances clinical functionality with hospitality-driven comfort. ML Group leveraged years of real estate experience and extensive expertise in designing and building post-acute care, post-hospital, and skilled nursing facilities to craft a thoughtful strategy addressing operator and patient needs. By optimizing space planning and integrating operational efficiencies, the project ensured a seamless design-build process from concept to completion.

Imagine. Transforming Healthcare Spaces with a Hospitality Approach
With a focus on patient-centered design, ML Group reimagined traditional rehabilitation environments by introducing upscale finishes, inviting communal spaces, and a state-of-the-art physical therapy gym. Unlike conventional healthcare or senior housing designs, this project incorporated high-end materials, sophisticated lighting, and refined color palettes to create an ambiance more aligned with a boutique hotel than a medical facility. The result was an elevated care environment aligned with industry best practices while maintaining a hospitality-driven atmosphere.


Transform. From Vision to Reality
A successful healthcare renovation requires meticulous planning, expert coordination, and seamless construction delivery. ML Group’s integrated design-build approach streamlined the process, ensuring timely completion with minimal disruption to operations. Through collaboration with stakeholders, the team delivered a facility that met regulatory requirements while achieving the project’s vision for a high-quality, hospitality-inspired post-hospital care setting.
