Our fitness center has a new look as well with a colorful, relaxing environment, spa fountains, new equipment, and a beautiful new courtyard with walking path currently under construction. The Director of Nursing's office has been transformed to Dutchess Sweets, reminiscent of an old-fashioned candy store with penny candies available on the shelf. Water Works Park has found its way to the south lounge where games, books, crayons, and toys await visiting children. The main office now inspires memories of the Pony Express Post Office and the Pleasant View Savings and Trust. The Clip and Curl Beauty Salon also offers a new look with its striped barber pole, inviting customers in and the bubble gum machine thanking them for their patronage.
