Pine Haven Announces Plans to Build RCAC

Sheboygan Falls, WI -- The board of directors of Pine Haven Christian Home approved construction of a 40 unit residential care apartment complex (RCAC) on the north side of Sheboygan Falls on 56 acres purchased by the organization a year ago.  “This is an exciting time for Pine Haven Christian Home as we move forward to begin the development of a new campus” said Jeff Jenkins, administrator of Pine Haven. 

The RCAC will provide individual apartments backed by supportive, personal and nursing services to residents offering a level of service that is a step above independent living but not as comprehensive as Pine Haven’s current assisted living facility. “Most people want to stay in their own homes as long as possible. The RCAC option allows residents to live as independently as they choose with staff available to provide assistance and services only when needed,” Jenkins said.

“The expectations and demands of our residents will continue to change and we must respond to them if we are to remain a successful provider of Christian senior housing. The board will continue to look to the future to determine what facilities and services Pine Haven will provide the community. Only conceptual plans exist, beyond this first phase, for further development of the north campus because the senior housing environment is rapidly changing and plans made today could likely change by the time future phases are ready for development. This first phase is being built with the future in mind and our existing campus will also continue to be developed,” Jenkins said.

Hoffman Corporation, an architectural and construction management firm based in Appleton, has assisted Pine Haven in the initial planning and will continue with the project through completion. “If all goes well we would like to begin construction this summer with possible occupancy in the spring or summer of 2007,” said Jenkins.

Pine Haven Christian Home was opened in 1950 and expanded in 1992 to the

current size of 71 residents in the nursing home wing and 136 rooms in the residential

center wing. While supported by eighteen local churches, residents of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome. Pine Haven’s mission is to provide quality, compassionate care in a Christian environment.
