Bethany Village is expanding to serve the growing population of seniors Graceworks Lutheran Services is demonstrating its commitment to the Dayton region with a $47 million construction project at Bethany Village, its senior living community in Centerville. A nationally accredited Continuing Care Retirement Community, Bethany Village provides residences for active seniors, assisted living and a range of healthcare services to meet changing needs, including short-term rehabilitation, memory supportive care and skilled nursing care. The expansion is one of the largest building projects underway in the south Dayton metropolitan area and includes 60 new residences, a Village Center and a Memory Support Center. The first step was a massive exterior renovation of the 11-story Vista Place apartment residence, the tallest building in the community. But the project is about more than new buildings. It is about enriching the lives of the community’s growing population of seniors. The Village Center will open in December 2008 and create a new “front door” to the community. The new central gathering place illustrates Bethany’s focus on wholeness of life and includes a Fitness Center, a relaxing Bistro, a Grand Room for large gatherings, a classroom for educational programs and an Art Center for creating and exhibiting art. The new Memory Support Center will provide a home-like environment for people experiencing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. To be completed in spring 2009, the Center will be divided into four households. Each household will feature 14 private resident rooms, a dining area, kitchen and living room overlooking a central courtyard where residents can experience the outdoors. When the expansion is completed, Bethany will be home to approximately 800 older adults. More than 575 elderly people experience skilled nursing care and customized rehabilitation programs each year in the Bethany Rehabilitation Center as they recover from surgery or hospitalization.
