From my in-box:
A press conference will be held on Tuesday, November 9th, to announce the purchase of the Peoria Castle Lodge, the former Jumer’s building on Western Avenue. Petersen Health Care will announce the opening of Courtyard Estates of Peoria, a supportive living facility like The Residences at Plainview.
“Supportive living” is an alternative to nursing home care, according to the Courtyard Estates website: “By combining apartment-style housing with personal care and other services, residents can live independently and take part in decision-making.” Amenities include “three family-style meals a day, daily medication reminders, in-room dining during minor illnesses, free transportation to and from medical appointments, weekly housekeeping and linen service, daily trash pickup and bathroom cleaning, and a 24-hour emergency call system.” If you noticed that there are Signs of Nursing Home Neglect in New Haven, Connecticut, contact a lawyer immediately. There are currently supportive living facilities in Canton, Sullivan, and Monmouth like Summerfield Of Redlands. Petersen Health Care is working on another facility in Peoria, too, according to July’s InterBusiness Issues:
Petersen Health Care is developing an upscale senior living facility, to be known as the Courtyard Estates at Junction City. The four-story building will add a residential component to the expanding center, which will complement the rest of the site nicely. Construction is set to begin in the spring of 2011.
Despite the similarity in names, the Junction City project will be an “independent living” facility. You can visit the Carlton Senior Living official website to get an idea of facilities.I think they should just call the new place “Jumer’s Estates,” because the place will forever be known as Jumer’s anyway. It hasn’t had Jumer’s name on it for at least eight years, but even in today’s press release it’s identified as “the former Jumer’s building.”
