Ribbon cutting held for $15 million project at Good Shepherd Village at Endwell
ENDWELL, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Good Shepherd Village at Endwell held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday to celebrate the completion of a $15 million project.
The two-year project provided extensive improvements to the campus in order to improve resident care and wellbeing.
The upgrades include a larger dining room, a brand-new library, pub, and cafe, as well as upgraded outdoor spaces. A state-of-the-art physical therapy and fitness center was also constructed.
President and CEO Jason Santiago says keeping the residents safe and comfortable during the renovation was vital. He says the first word that comes to mind when thinking of Good Shepherd is 'special'.
'Even more than the aesthetics of Good Shepherd Village, it's truly the people that make Good Shepherd Village a special place. Both the residents and the staff make Good Shepherd Village more than just a place to live and work. Those same people make this place a special community,' said Santiago.
Joining Santiago in cutting the ribbon on Thursday was Rose Papa.
Papa has been a resident of Good Shepherd Village for over 15 years, serving in leadership roles on the Residents' Council, starring in the community's commercials, and offering her home for tours.
Papa says the new addition is beautiful.
'It was and still is a caring community of strangers who became friends and look out for each other. We may be twice the size now, but the feeling of community and caring is still here, and that's one of the reasons I like it here,' said Papa.
Papa commended the staff for their excellent care over the years.
The project was made possible by a grant from the Broome County Industrial Development Agency, as well as an additional local donation.
The renovation was led by William H. Lane Incorporated.
