Senior Citizen Housing Needed
It appears that there is a great deal of enthusiasm among
Nyssa senior citizens for the proposed apartment complex
soon to be built in this community.
A group of 24 citizens from Nyssa journeyed to Bend last
week to view a complex similar to the one planned here, and
returned home enthused with every part of the operation.
This type of project is catching on all over the country, and
fills a real need for older persons, particularly those who are
single.
There are still some "its" before the project becomes a
reality, mainly in the area of financing. Fortunately, the
Hammond Development Corporation seems to have the
know-how. and has built several of these projects. Their
recent survey indicates that the need is here, and that many
have indicated a desire to live in the project. The Farmer's
Home Administration (FmHA) is administered by the Federal
Government. and must have these assurances before a loan is
made.
Completion of this 40-unit apartment will have quite an
impact on Nyssa. Just the fact that many single persons will
offer their homes for sale will start a round-robin of
movement as others upgrade their housing, and create
vacancies for still others seeking homes.
Older persons, and particularly widows, have found that
trying to maintain their homes is becoming increasingly
difficult. Mowing lawns, trimming shrubs, housework and
general maintenance, have all become time consuming and
expensive. Their homes need the occupancy of growing
families, not single persons. And they need the
companionship and security that is offered in the senior
citizen community.
Apparently the living offered older persons in the
Greenwood Manor in Bend, and elsewhere, fills a real
community need. It becomes obvious that this need exists in
Nyssa. Perhaps it will soon be met.
