Grand Opening Press Release
October 14, 2005

CHERRY RIDGE CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING

Ribbon-Cutting and Grand Opening Ceremony to Open Webster’s Newest Continuing Care Retirement Community

WEBSTER, NY: Cherry Ridge Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) is pleased to announce its official grand opening ceremony at 1:30 p.m., on Thursday, Nov. 3, at the Cherry Ridge Community Center, located at 900 Cherry Ridge Boulevard. After months of preparation, planning and several phases of construction, Cherry Ridge now invites the Webster community and surrounding areas to take part in this momentous occasion.

The grand opening event will include a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, presentations from local leaders and dignitaries, and a reception and campus tour immediately following the ceremony. As space is limited, guests are asked to R.S.V.P. by calling (585) 697-6700 by Thursday, Oct. 27th.

Cherry Ridge, owned and operated by St. Ann’s Community, is the newest senior living option in the Webster area and offers two-bedroom cottages and one- and two-bedroom apartment homes with several styles, locations and financial options available. In addition to independent living, Cherry Ridge provides on-site assisted living and memory support, as well as priority access to skilled nursing care and short-term rehabilitation on the nearby St. Ann's campus in Irondequoit.

"Cherry Ridge’s grand opening ceremony marks the culmination of a dynamic collaborative effort," said Eileen Ryan-Maruke, Vice President, Marketing and Community Relations for St. Ann’s Community. "We are proud to offer the Webster community a new senior living option which will truly benefit the community-at-large."

Gordon and Helen Jarvis, residents of Cherry Ridge, will be among those celebrating at the grand opening. The couple moved to the community to enjoy the maintenance-free lifestyle. Having lived in Webster for 52 years, they wanted to remain in the area and stay close to family, friends and area events. v"We are very happy with our choice and are quite content at Cherry Ridge," said Gordon Jarvis. "We decided on The Grove with Den Cottage and love having a small house, yet not worrying about maintenance. We plan to take advantage of the amenities allowing us to socialize with other residents and continue our active lives in the community."

As a family of scientists, the Jarvis’ are accustomed to making thoughtful and researched decisions, with their retirement no exception. They wanted to make their own future plans and customize the options that most appealed to them. Living at Cherry Ridge allowed them to do both.

"We wanted to make our retirement decisions while we are still independent and can take a hands-on approach to planning," said Jarvis. "Living at Cherry Ridge definitely takes a load off our two daughters’ minds, knowing that our needs are covered."
