Prairie Crossing Holds Open House
Sheboygan
Falls, WI -- On Saturday, June 22 over 500 guests had the first look at the
Prairie Crossing apartment complex in Sheboygan Falls during the open
house. Invited guests began arriving at 12:30 and were on hand for the
dedication ceremony at 1:30 p.m. The public was invited and a steady stream
of attendees arrived throughout the event which concluded at 5:00 p.m.
Addressing the group during the
dedication were Jeff Jenkins, Administrator of Pine Haven Christian Home and
Jan Scholke, Director of Prairie Crossing. Reverend Stan Seagren of Hope
Reformed Church in Sheboygan, who is also a Pine Haven foundation board
member, gave the prayer of blessing for residents, guests, and the staff who
will serve them. Jim Waech, current Chairman of the Pine Haven Board of
Directors detailed that this is the seventh building project Pine Haven has
undertaken in the 57-year history and that the board is already planning for
future development. Nancy Verstrate, Executive Director of Sheboygan Falls
Chamber Main Street, thanked the organization for building Prairie Crossing
and expressed that the city has become known for the respect and dignity
they show for the senior community and Pine Haven has been a foundation of
that. She observed that the development couldn’t be more inspiring or be in
a more peaceful location.
Other dignitaries at the dedication
were Dan Lemahieu, a state assemblyman from the Oostburg area; Dewey Glancy,
a Sheboygan Falls alderman; and current and previous members of the board of
directors of Pine Haven.
Attendees took small group guided tours
to experience the facility and see the different size apartments.
Refreshments were served in the first floor dining room. The Pine Haven bus
shuttled attendees from the Piggly Wiggly parking lot.
Prairie Crossing, a 40-unit assisted
living apartment complex in a senior community, is now open for residency.
Four apartment sizes ranging from 542 to 960 square feet are available and
each include a full kitchen. Monthly services, including daily meals, are
provided and residents can customize any additional services they desire.
