Young House is under construction and scheduled to open in Spring 2016. Young House will be a small house for 15 persons and feature memory support skilled nursing. Four new private rooms will open in Radcliffe House at the same time. The Apostles Center therapy center is doubling in size and a port cochere will be added to the dining/nursing entrance in Westvue Court.
We also have some familiar faces working in new places. Joanie Greiner is now our full time receptionist. Joanie has worked at Homestead Village for over twenty years. Loretta Gehman has moved to a full time marketing support position.
2016 will be an exciting year of change at Homestead Village as we begin to utilize these exciting new spaces and we learn to work with and enjoy the unique talents that our new teammates have to offer.
