Keystone Commons
Keystone Commons has two model apartments open for viewing, a one bedroom for Assisted Living and a one bedroom for Independent Living. We recently had our Construction Progress Party on October 21, 2007 with about 400 people attending. The weather was perfect, the food delicious, the entertainment divine and the people happy. Everyone marveled at our beautiful apartments, the sunroom with tile floors was a big hit. Anne Richardson did a beautiful job decorating the apartments. The following week we had a party for the residents that will be moving in, they got a chance to see the apartments, meet their new neighbors and share some lunch and fun with us. So far everyone is very impressed by Keystone Commons and we look forward to our opening this winter. We are already 100% reserved in our Independent apartments, with a waiting list and our Assisted Living is almost half reserved.
