Set to open in the near future, Meru Campus of Care at 203 Interstate Drive in Alleghany County conducted group tours of the new facility and its renovated wings that are all connected.
Dr. Krishna Sankar, a resident of Alleghany County, and Vish Visvabharathy, Ph.D., founder of Hawthorne Development in Chicago, have formed a partnership to operate the business that Hawthorne Development recently completed building and renovating.
Nancy Jordan, the newly hired administrator, was present during the group tours that were conducted on May 5.
Jordan remarked, “We haven’t started hiring, but we will start taking applications soon.”
The facility will accommodate three groups of clientele who will reside in three separate areas of the facility that will have its own beauty salon, exercise room, library, recreation room, juice bar, coffee bar, record listening station, theater, chapel, nursing station and activities room inside and a garden and garage outside for those who enjoy gardening and tinkering with cars.
Jordan concluded, “We are about to begin our second tour of the day.”
The owners had set a planned opening day for June 6, but Jordan, a 1985 graduate of Alleghany High School, could not confirm the opening day will be June 5, only that the independent living section of the facility will become the first area to occupied with renters.
