GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A groundbreaking was held in Green Bay on Friday to signify the start of major renovations at a care center.
Curative Connections is an organization that aims to serve individuals facing dementia, brain injury or various disabilities.
Thanks to an $8.5 million campaign they’ll be able to undertake a total renovation of their main campus, which has grown increasingly outdated.
“The building that we’re in right now was constructed in the mid-1970’s,” explains Curative Connections CEO Steve McCarthy. “It was state-of-the-art at the time, but what has happened is that the communities needs have changed over time.”
The renovation will not work to expand their 65,000 square-foot building, but rather reconfigure their existing space to be more efficient.
“We’re going to be able to double the amount of space we have for adult day services, double the amount of space for people with dementia, and double the amount of space for people with neurological impairments,” says McCarthy.
The process is expected to take around 10-months and their services will remain available during this time.
“We will continue to serve people throughout the entire renovation process,” he says. “We’re doing it one section of the building at a time.”
More information on the organization’s campaign and a short video detailing their renovations can be seen here.
