The building that housed the former Madison Retirement Center has been purchased by a Falls Church-based group that plans on re-opening it by October under the name Greenfield of Williamsburg after a $1 million series of renovations.
A news release from the group, Greenfield Senior Living, said the new home will feature space for 65 seniors and an on-site medical wellness office. Diagnostic and lab services will also be available on site, along with mental health professionals and behavioral health intervention programs.
“We are excited to build on our commitment to provide outstanding care to seniors, and we continue to be successful by building strong partnerships with leading healthcare professionals who are committed to our shared mission,” said David K. McHarg, the chief operations officer of Greenfield Senior Living. “We now build on our commitment in Williamsburg.”
A detailed renovation plan as well as a groundbreaking celebration are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, according to the release.
Greenfield of Williamsburg owns seven other Greenfield Senior Living communities throughout the state, including locations in Spotsylvania, Fredericksburg and Stafford.
Madison Retirement Center closed in February, with the last of its residents moving in with family or accepting placements from the Williamsburg Department of Human & Social Services. The population at the center had been steadily declining in the time leading up to the closure of the facility.
The owner of Madison Retirement Center, Scott Schuett, had his administrator license revoked at a December meeting of the Virginia Board of Long Term Care Administrators, who also fined him $25,000. State inspectors had observed a number of violations at Madison Retirement Center, as well as other facilities owned by Schuett, such as Ashwood Assisted Living in Hampton and Oakwood Assisted Living in Suffolk.
A resident died at Madison Retirement Center in May 2012 after “[Madison Retirement Center failed to provide supervision, care and attention to the specialized needs of a resident,” according to the Virginia Department of Social Services website.
