    Heritage House to add Alzheimer’s facility
    Heritage House to add Alzheimer’s facility
    By John Leggett • January 13, 2012 8:22 pm

    While most companies are having a tough go of it in the current downturned economy, Buckley’s Heritage House is going to be refurbishing the existing facility as well as expanding to accommodate a new category of residents.

    Peggy Jensen, a licensed practical nurse serving her fourth year as administrator of the 40-unit facility, explained that while a 37-unit addition will be built adjacent to the existing facility along state Route 410, the new space will involve an entirely different type of care.

    Jensen noted there is an ever-growing need to care for those with Alzheimer’s disease and facilities to house such patients while furnishing professional, medical and compassionate care, are limited in western Washington.
