KEEP SMILING! Love, Gram & Gramps Mom & Mark e « Assisted living facility in area explored A committee interested in seeing an assisted-living facility established in the Willow Creek Valley (WCVAL-Willow Creek Valley Assisted Living) has been formed and will send out a two- question questionnaire with the Columbia Basin Electric billing statements The questionnaire is designed to determine how much interest there is in such a facility in the Willow Creek Valley, which includes Heppner, Lexington and lone. The committee urges people to respond to the questionnaire and either send completed questionnaires back to CBEC with their bills or drop them off in drop boxes at the following locations: in Heppner at the Post Office and Central Market; in Lexington at the MCGG mini mart; and in lone at the Post Office. According to the committee, an assisted living facility would provide a place for intermediate care for seniors-between Pioneer Memorial Nursing Home, which provides high level care, and the St. Patrick Senior Center, which is designed for independent living. An assisted living facility would accommodate those who cannot perform one or more of the activities involved in daily living, such as bathing, dressing, taking medications, preparing meals, using the bathroom or transferring, such as from a bed to a walker, for example. The committee has visited Summit Springs, the assisted living facility' in Condon and plans to tour other facilities. The group is in the process of applying for 501(C)3 non-profit status and plan to apply for a Community Development Block Grant to help finance a feasibility study. They also have scheduled a meeting with Denny Newell, CAPECO executive director, and with Judy Bauman, executive director of LINK, a community development corporation. The committee would like to meet with local organizations to discuss the project. Any group interested may call committee Celebrate Valentine's Day at Beecher'i Restaurant and Lounge Saturday, February 14 from 5-9 p.m. Featuring a buffet with Prime Rib, Baked Ham, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, and Baked Chicken Breasts, * / plus much more!
