NEW YORK: The five hundred and fifty-fourth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
A first-of-its-kind senior living community that incorporates equine therapy is under development on Tucson’s north side.
The Hacienda at the River is being built on River Road near Hacienda del Sol Road on 7.5 acres of former horse property. It will feature assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, skilled nursing and hospice care.
The Tucson developers say they stumbled into the work of managing senior centres when they built their first facility, the Fountains at La Cholla, in 1987.
“When we built the Fountains, we did so as developers,” said David Freshwater, chairman and developer of Watermark Retirement Communities. “But, we were early in the game and couldn’t find managers, so we learned by necessity.”
