The rains have finally stopped, the weather is good and we have finally started.

Paradise Valley Estates, (PVE), is pleased to announce that plans have been approved for the construction of a new, comprehensive Assisted Living building. The Haskell Company, of Jacksonville, Florida, has been selected as contractor for this project.

To be completed in early 2007, this new three (3) story structure will house 40 one-bedroom “social model” apartments. The new “social model” provides a home-like environment with more independent living services.

Our residents will be able to enjoy such amenities as a community “country” kitchen, library, beauty/barber shop, spa, and a new expanded Wellness Clinic. This addition will enhance our current continuum of care.

The new 43,000 square foot Assisted Living building will be attached to the current Recreation Center, which is situated in the heart of the campus. An additional 4,200 square feet will be added to the Recreation Center to accommodate the residents ever expanding fitness program.

New parking lot.

A lot of dirt is being moved and trenches are being dug. The new parking lot near the main entrance has been cut to sub grade. The remaining shrubs and other plantings have been removed from the new building site and the transporting of soil that has been excavated from the new parking lot is being placed on the new building site.

Over the next week to ten days there will be trenches open for the removal of the old storm drain systems and the relocation and installation of the new system. Additional details are in the latest Construction bulletin (see link below).
