CARPINTERIA — Steadfast Carpinteria Senior, LLC and Seniority, Inc. commemorated the ground breaking of GranVida, Carpinteria’s first senior assisted living and memory care community. The new community is an amazing example of corporate responsibility as an adaptive reuse of an existing office building with 55 assisted living apartments and memory care suites for 22 residents.
“There is a critical need for assisted living housing for seniors, in Carpinteria and nationwide, as the number of senior citizens continues to grow, and is expected to double over the next 25 years,” said Teri Conklin, Vice President of Seniority, Inc. “The community will incorporate Seniority’s award-winning cultural and hospitality programs, as well as innovative, person-centered memory care into its design. These features will ensure an environment of caring, support, and safety.”
The ceremony featured speakers from both Steadfast and Seniority Inc. as well as Carpinteria’s mayor, Gregg Carty.
“We’re so thankful to the Carpinteria community and the residents who have really embraced this project by attending the ceremony and touring the community,” said Joe Anderson, President, Seniority, Inc. “The renovations of the existing two-story building will leave the natural features that are characteristic of Carpinteria’s picturesque landscape which makes this a very serene setting for residents to enjoy.”
To celebrate the addition of the community; press, executives and local residents were given tours of the 52,000 square foot community that provides assisted living apartments and secure memory suites for residents; common areas, formal and private dining, library, computer lab, salon, kitchens and bathrooms designed to make mobility easier for all residents.
“GranVida has been a complete labor of love and we can’t wait to have the project completed,“ said Jeff Fischer, Executive Vice President, Steadfast Carpinteria Senior, LLC. “Our mission is to make sure that the residents who live at GranVida, feel at home in a safe and comforting environment made just for them.”
