***Presbyterian Homes Community Breaks Ground on 90 New Assisted Living Units and Chapel/Fellowship Hall***

**Arlington Heights, Ill. – June 6, 2016 – **On Friday June 3, The Moorings of Arlington Heights, the Presbyterian Homes community, broke ground on a $70M expansion project that will include construction of a new chapel/fellowship hall and 70 additional assisted living apartments, scheduled to be completed by the end of 2017, and 20 new assisted living / memory support apartments, which are slated for completion the following year. 

The senior living community celebrated this expansion project with a groundbreaking ceremony and reception today. (Photo attached; caption below.) The event was attended by many state and local dignitaries, as well as the organization’s own Board of Directors, C-suite and upper-level management, and the community’s residents and staff.

“Our organization is looking forward to serving today’s residents and those to come,” said Todd Swortzel, president and chief executive officer, Presbyterian Homes. “This community will be well-positioned to serve future generations of older adults.”
