KILLINGLY — Westview Health Care Center will break ground in the fall for an independent living center for the elderly.
According to David T. Panteleakos, CEO and administrator, there will be 73 units with one- and two-bedroom efficiency apartments built at 117 Ware Road in Dayville.
The project is estimated to cost $15 million and will include a 112,000-square foot, two-story building with 44 single bedroom units, 29 two-bedroom units, a lower-level indoor parking garage, a large two-story great room for dining and entertainment, a country store, café, movie theater, library, gym, outdoor gazebo with walking trails, gardens and exterior water features.
The Killingly Planning and Zoning Commission recently approved a special permit for the Country Living at Westview Commons Residential Life Care Community project. It’s already been approved by the Inland Wetlands Commission.
Panteleakos said the program will also include amenities including concierge services, 24-hour security, dining, numerous educational and recreational programs, transportation, entertainment; and support for cleaning, maintenance and laundry services. “We greatly appreciate all of the support we have received for our project,” said Panteleakos.
“This type of housing and services for our retired and elderly citizens is in tremendous demand in our region. We intend to build a facility and program that matches Westview Health Care Center’s five star ratings, services and status,” he added.
