Alden Lakeland

After graduating from Chicago Technical College as an engineer, Floyd A. Schlossberg started working within the construction industry in the early 1960s and established Alden Bennett Construction Co. . In 1961. In the beginning, Schlossberg and his staff built schools, fire stations, Park District fieldhouses and libraries in Chicago. In the late 1960s, his wife's grandfather fell sick and required 24hr nursing care, but her grandparent's financial situation was such that a private, specialty home was not possible. That is when Schlossberg started thinking that there had to be a wealth of seniors in similar circumstances who needed quality health care.
