A new 65,000-square-foot assisted living and memory care community is coming to Greer.
Spartanburg’s Pulliam Investment Company announced a partnership with Thrive Senior Living, an Atlanta developer and operator of 11 current senior communities across the Southeast. Thrive is expanding its reach into South Carolina and will be collaborating with Pulliam to tap into the company’s 30-plus years of senior housing development experience in the Upstate.
“This truly is a one-of-a-kind partnership in North America, and we are proud to be a part of it,” said Jeramy Ragsdale, founder of Thrive Senior Living.
The community, named the Village at Greer, will have a two-story building with 89 total units. Of those units, 64 will be assisted living units and 25 units will be solely dedicated to memory care.
With a staff member whose title is “director of excitement,” residents can expect arranged activities such as dancing, gardening clubs, art classes, and wine and cheese tastings.
The Village at Greer is also expected to have an onsite beauty salon and barber, movie theater, library and housekeeping and laundry services. Residents can also receive transportation to doctors’ appointments, assistance with dressing and grooming, and onsite dining.
Ragsdale believes there is a growing need in Greer for their services. “We have seen a ‘previous generation’ of senior living communities become noticeably outdated,” said Ragsdale. “This has been compounded by very strong residential growth in the past ten years that has not yet been served by new senior living communities.”
The two companies also announced plans to build a similar community called The Village at Prince Creek in Murrells Inlet, S.C.
Construction on The Village at Greer will begin December 2013, with a scheduled completion of late 2014.
