Senior housing complex celebrates grand opening
PLEASANTON When the doors open at the Parkview Assisted Living Facility this month, it will bring to a close the 10-year planning and development process that brought the 105-unit senior housing complex to Pleasanton. Building the 59,518-square-foot housing complex was a joint venture of the city, nonprofit affordable housing developer BRIDGE Housing Corporation and assisted living services provider Eskaton. In addition to providing much-needed assisted living and memorycare for Tri-Valley residents, the $25 million facility includes 31 units set aside for low-income seniors another service 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 30percent affordability for a senior housing project is a higher-than-usual share.

Veterans lobby for nursing home
East Bay and Central Valley veterans had one last chance Friday to make in-person pleas to keep a Veterans Affairs nursing home in Livermore or to move it east. "A lot of us like it here," said Tracy resident George Briggs, 83, a veteran of three wars. "You modernize this place a little and this would be ideal. It's a different atmosphere here." Briggs was one of a couple hundred veterans and others to attend the meeting at Livermore's nursing home care unit, the last of four such sessions with the advisory panel dealing with the Tri-Valley campus. The meetings are designed to get public opinion on what to do with the 115-acre site just south of Livermore. Secretary of Veterans Affairs James Nicholson is set to decide in late spring or summer from among four options on the table for a VA nursing home in the area: -Make slight upgrades to the existing Livermore facility.
