Ginger Cove, Annapolis’ only nationally-accredited retirement community, broke ground on a new building, “The Heritage at Ginger Cove,” which will provide additional assisted living and memory care services. The ceremony was attended by a number of prominent community members.
The new 3-story, 67,100 square foot building will contain 35 new units including two new floors of Assisted Living with 10 units on each floor and 15 new Memory Care units. All of the residences will be private and approximately four of the assisted living suites will be larger in size to accommodate couples, if needed. Construction is expected to be completed in 18 months.
“As a proven industry leader in providing high quality resident care, Ginger Cove will now offer even more options for current and future residents with memory impairment and independent living challenges,” said William Holman, Ginger Cove’s Chief Executive Officer. “The Heritage at Ginger Cove will be a Center of Excellence, focused on providing strength-based, person-centered care in a home-like environment that encourages and supports independence and success.”
