New assisted living facility to open soon
PLEASANTON - When the doors open at Parkview Assisted Living this month, 10 years of planning and development to bring the 105-unit senior housing complex to Pleasanton will come to a close. The 60,000-square-foot complex is a joint venture of the city, the nonprofit group BRIDGE Housing Corporation and assisted living services provider Eskaton. In addition to providing assisted living and memory care for Tri-Valley residents, the $25 million facility includes 31 units set aside for low-income seniors -- a commodity in short supply. "There are very few affordable assisted living facilities (in the Tri-Valley)," Pleasanton housing specialist Scott Erickson said. "None reach the depth of affordability that ours does." Anne Burns Johnson, president of Sacramento-based Aging Services of California, said being able to offer 30 percent of units as affordable housing in a project like this is a higher-than-usual share.
