  ASSISTED LIVING RESIDENCE LOCATES IN BASEHOR 
Country Place Senior Living Will Create 12 New Skilled Jobs   

Country Place Senior Living, a new assisted living residence, has broken ground in Basehor.  The $2.7 million assisted living residence will be located on a two acre parcel of land located at 15707 Pinehurst Drive and will create 12 new full time employment positions.  Each of the 22 suites in the 15,000 sq. ft. facility is equipped with a fully accessible private bathroom, large sitting and sleeping areas, and a hospitality kitchen.  The professional staff will include a director, a full time nurse, dietary consultant, food service coordinator, and numerous certified medication aides.  Country Place Living, LLC worked in conjunction with local city officials and LCDC to bring upscale residential assisted living to seniors of Basehor.  

 

According to company officials, the facility should be ready for new residents by mid-September.  For additional information about Country Place Senior Living please call Cheri Bauer at 913-662-7330.
