A new look is emerging at The Meadows Retirement Community and residents and staff are excited! Originally built in 1984, The Meadows celebrated their 25th anniversary in late 2009. Only very small cosmetic changes have been made at The Meadows since it opened, so the building was ready for a major renovation.
Wood trim, warm golden wallpaper and paint, a new ceiling and new lighting have already been installed and are setting the stage for what is soon to come when the new art, carpet, flooring, draperies and furniture are added as the last finishing touches.
The public bathrooms have been completed and look beautiful but they also still have some surprise finishing touches yet to be unveiled, as do the new display case and piano lounge.
The main office has been completely reconstructed, with new windows in a design that creates an open, more inviting customer service area and includes all new granite counter tops, cabinets, ceiling, lighting and carpeting.
The new marketing office is complete with a wall of beautiful custom cabinets and a built-in desk. New furniture and draperies will arrive at the end of the project and complete the beautiful new space. The new theatre/multi media room and the coffee café lounge area are undergoing major construction at this time.
The 25-year-old plain, beige tile in the atrium will be replaced with lovely ceramic tile in tones of gold, rust and gray that will add a dramatic change in the final stages of the project.
The construction crew has been most accommodating while working in resident spaces and residents have been so patient with the work in progress. The whole project is on target to be completed by the end of February. A renovation
celebration is scheduled for April 9, 2010 when we will really kick up our heels and celebrate!
