New Pond Village Undergoing Multi-Million Dollar Renovation

“Renovations at the community are focused on providing a continuum of care.” says William Cook, director of development at Benchmark Senior Living. “In addition to cosmetic updates to the independent living community, significant construction is taking place to create two distinct areas for memory care and assisted living.”

Major changes to the senior living community are making a lasting economic impact on the greater Walpole community. More than 40 local workers are assisting with project, sourcing materials and expertise from local lumber yards, electrical companies and construction stores.

“We are thrilled to be providing significant improvements to our already beautiful community,” said Susan Cweika, executive director of New Pond Village. “We are confident that our residents will enjoy a continuum of care offered onsite along with the upscale, sophisticated look of the changes.”

Aside from the interior transformation, the renovation is making a positive impact on the greater Walpole community as more than 40 local workers support the project and pour a portion of the $8 Million into the local economy. Once completed, New Pound Village will employ several additional associates to service its residents.

“Quote from mayor or other local politician/chamber president if numbers play out.”
