New Affordable Assisted Lifestyle Community to Open in Bloomington
BRADLEY, Ill. (PRWEB) May 09, 2018 -- A VIP Preview Party and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony will be held for Evergreen Village at Bloomington, a new affordable assisted lifestyle community for older adults that is opening this month.
The event will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST on Thursday, May 10 at the community, which is located at 3607 S. Heirloom Drive in Bloomington, Indiana.
This multimillion-dollar development was designed for seniors of all incomes who need some help to maintain their independence.
“We will be providing older adults with a wonderful alternative to a nursing home or to struggling alone at home,” said Evergreen Village Administrator Josh Dodds
The community will combine residential apartment-home living with the availability of personal assistance, help with medications, and a variety of convenience and support services, such as meals, housekeeping, laundry and transportation.
Residents will live in private apartments that they will furnish and decorate to their tastes. Each of the apartments will feature a kitchenette, spacious bathroom with shower and grab bars, individually controlled heating and air conditioning and an emergency alert system.
In addition, Evergreen Village offers several areas for residents to enjoy, including a bistro, activity room, beauty salon/barber shop, general store, fitness room, clinical and therapy room, library and computer room, TV lounge and a recreation room and theater.
Certified nursing assistants, working under the direction of a licensed nurse, will be on-duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Residents also will benefit from all of the opportunities that will be available to socialize with friends and neighbors and to participate in activities and special programs," says Dodds.
When fully occupied, the community will provide 55 full and part-time jobs. Annual payroll with benefits is projected to be $1.5 million.
Evergreen Village at Bloomington will be certified to operate through the Division of Aging and regulated by the Indiana State Department of Health.
"Our focus," says Rod Burkett, CEO of Gardant Management Solutions, the company that manages the community "is to provide Evergreen Village residents with the love, compassion and dignity they deserve and the help and assistance they need. Our emphasis is on helping each resident achieve and maintain as much independence as possible for as long as possible."
