The renovation of Lakeview Hall includes the facility’s Wellness center which includes the updated Oasis Spa and Fitness Center as well as serving as a community center for major events, theatrical productions, musical entertainment and dances, .

“We solicited a great deal of input in the beginning of this process to make sure the residents had a chance to express their opinions on the renovation,” said E. Justin Wilson, III, executive vice president of CoreCare III, the on-site Morningside partner.  “For the past 19 years, Morningside has set the standard for retirement living.  The renovation is the latest sign of our commitment to always lead the way when it comes to healthy, active aging.  We look forward to our grand opening and to celebrating this exciting time for our great community.”
