HavenGroup of Steinbach has announced plans to construct a new multi-level life lease seniors housing complex in the next few years.

HavenGroup, which owns Rest Haven Nursing Home, Woodhaven Manor, Parkview Apartments and Cedarwood Supportive Housing will build Greenwood Meadows adjacent to Woodhaven Manor, in the green space behind G&E Homes.

Greenwood Meadows is expected to feature 60 one and two bedroom suites, a heated interior parkade at ground level, a terrace patio on the top floor, walking paths, gathering spaces at each residential level and additional more specifically defined spaces for things like exercise and crafts.

"HavenGroup's strategic plan seeks to address the growing need for both affordable senior housing and additional personal care home facilities within Steinbach," says Board Chair Henry Klassen. "Greenwood Meadows, as an independent living facility, addresses one area of need."

Ft3 Architecture Landscape Interior Design of Winnipeg has been working on the design for the facility since early May.

"We are in the process of attending to many matters related to the project, all necessary to end up with a facility that will truly meet the needs of the new tenants and that of the non-profit organization that operates it going forward," notes Chief Executive Officer David Driedger.

According to Driedger, there is interest growing from potential future tenants of Greenwood Meadows.
