WINONA LAKE - Grace Village Retirement Community plans to add a wing of assisted-living apartments, and groundbreaking ceremonies were held for the addition Tuesday.
Jeff Carroll, Grace Village chief executive officer, said the addition provides space where a person can come in and "age in place."
The facility currently has 30 assisted-living apartment, and the addition means 26 more along Sunset Drive.
The one-bedroom spaces are 500 square feet and offer a kitchenette, large closets and bay windows.
Grace Village is a continuing care retirement community and has accommodations ranging from completely independent to those allowing full nursing care.
"The addition allows older adults to live in a secure Christian environment," Carroll said.
Robinson Construction received the contract for the project, which will be paid for through a bond issue backed by the town, not to exceed $4.5 million.
Carroll said at the town council meeting in August that nine to 20 more employees will be needed in the new space. Nurses will be available 24 hours a day. [[In-content Ad]]
