Friday, May 2nd, 2014

Elim Care Valley View Village broke ground Wednesday, April 30 on a $12 million Health Care campus expansion.

The celebration marks the beginning of Phase 2 for the continuum campus at Valley View. This phase will encompass a new health center that will feature 79 private rooms and private bathrooms, an area for memory care, dementia, transitional care patients as well as a therapy and state of the art rehabilitation gym. This project looks to be completed by Summer of 2015.

The Valley View Village  is a senior community previously owned by Evangelical Retirement Homes and recently acquired by Elim Care, Inc.  The current campus located in Des Moines, Iowa, includes a 79-bed skilled nursing facility and a 77-bed custodial care, 75 cottages for independent seniors, and a 30-unit three-level independent living apartment building built over underground parking.

Phase I of the masterplan was a 54 unit assisted living project attached to the existing care center that was opened in 2010. Plans for a third phase to expand Valley View Village’s memory care and catered apartments in the current assisted living building will begin following completion of the new health center.
