Someone who needs greater assistance could choose a nursing home. For two years, the Boesches renovated a former high school made from native quarried limestone. Boesch said he wants to make his business a success to help the community economically and to give new life to the building. Boesch moved to Roane County so he could get his father out of a nursing home. He bought a farm and put a house next door for his father to live in, but his father died before the plans could be completed.
Schools are often a community's center.
Boesch wants the Walton Inn to continue to play a role as a community center. People who live nearby still come to the gym and walk laps to get their exercise on bad-weather days. The middle school girls' basketball team also still uses the gym. The building is spotlessly clean. Almost every room has a flower border.
