Benedictine Living Community hosts open house following renovations

ST. JOESPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- A local senior living community opened its doors to the public Tuesday to showcase its new renovations.

Benedictine Living Community, located at 1202 Heartland Road, hosted an open house event from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23, in St. Joseph.

The senior care facility recently remodeled their assisted and independent living apartments and gathering spaces, such as the dining hall, with minimal impacts to the facility's daily functions.

The apartments were renovated with new paint and finishes to enhance resident comfort.

"It makes it much more homey, much more like home instead of living in, you know, just living in an apartment -- (it has a) much more homey feeling to it," said Deborah Flint, a resident at Benedictine Living Community.

The goal of the upgrades was to provide a better living environment for the facility's residents.
