News Release-July 20, 2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 20, 2006 Contact: Jeff
Jenkins Groundbreaking Ceremony for Pine Haven Residential Center Apartment Complex Sheboygan Falls, WI -- Pine Haven Christian Home broke ground for a new assisted living facility on Wednesday, July 19. This 40-apartment facility will provide supportive, personal, and nursing services. Completion is expected to be spring/summer of 2007. Addressing the group was Jeff Jenkins, Administrator of Pine Haven; Reverend Stan Seagren of Hope Reformed Church in Sheboygan and Pine Haven Foundation Board Member; Rick Van Seters, Pine Haven Board President; Sheboygan Falls Mayor Randy Meyer; and Charlie Frederickson of Hoffmann LLC. All of the speakers reinforced the Pine Haven emphasis on Christ-centered care and a 56-year tradition of quality, compassion, and care. This new apartment facility will add a level of service to Pine Haven’s current offerings which include an assisted living center and a nursing home. The new facility has not yet been named. Some of the features the new apartments will offer are nurse supervision, medication administration, assistance with personal care, and meal service. There will be a choice of four sizes of apartment units ranging from 542 to 960 square feet. A centralized area will include an atrium, dining room, and multipurpose room. The exterior will feature a walking trail around the landscaped grounds and pond. The project is being financed by a tax exempt bond issue. The apartments will be built with a commitment to being environmentally friendly including a geothermal pump system to the onsite pond to provide heat in the winter and cooling in the summer. This will keep costs down and mean reduced reliance on traditional fuels. One of the groundbreaking attendees was the previous owner of the land, Elizabeth Mohnsam, and three generations of her family. The event was particularly commemorative for Mohnsam who was also celebrating her birthday. Pine Haven Christian Home was opened in 1950 and expanded in 1992 to the current size of 71 residents in the skilled nursing home wing and 140 licensed 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.
