Construction Progress

It’s beginning to look like a home in the Brookfield of Hot Springs Assisted Living building! The work crews have been hard at work, and their efforts show. With carpeting laid throughout the building, handrails running the length of the halls, and ceiling fans turning lazily in the community living room, it’s a very welcoming atmosphere to greet our prospective residents and their families when they come to tour.
Except for a few cosmetic touches here and there, the 42 rooms are finished, and will soon be ready for occupancy.
The reception/office area is also coming along well, and will be a welcoming entry point for visitors in the future.
Meanwhile, the sod has been laid in the inner courtyard, and the trees are ready to be planted when the heat breaks. The little patio areas are ready to welcome residents’ outside furniture, bird houses and flower containers.
Work in the Memory Care building is progressing nicely, still a few weeks behind the AL building, but on track to welcome residents in mid-October.
Response has been very positive this week from those who have toured the building, and the excitement is growing in the community at large about what Brookfield will mean for Hot Springs and the surrounding areas.
We’re busily compiling lists of those we want to specially invite to our Open House in the AL building on September 24, 25 and 26. It’s going to be a great party, and the more the merrier! Until then, our office in Cornerstone is still the ‘hub’ of our Hot Springs operation, and this week, we’ve seen an increase in interest from those in the community who are looking for the services we offer. That’s as exciting to us as the building progress! We can’t wait to be in our new home, welcoming residents into their new home.
