Retired people want to be in places that are intellectually stimulating and provide activities and ways to stay connected, according to Gale. The 157 units currently proposed will be built in phases. The first phase consists of a clustered community of cottage-style condominiums, each with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The units are designed for independent, active adults 55 years and older. In-home health care and housekeeping can be arranged.
Units are available for sale now.
The second phase, now slated to begin construction in spring 2000, will include apartments and assisted living in a central facility that will be called the Inn at Spruce Wood.
