New Assisted Living Facility Opens in Orlando
A former nursing home-turned-assisted living is celebrating a grand opening Thursday in Orlando, Florida.
For over 20 years, Wellspring operated as a nursing home under an organization called Christian Scientists, however Medicare cutbacks and other operating difficulties led the owners to close the facility and sell the property.
In August 2013, Andreas Mueller, a German-born entrepreneur from Naples, FL bought the property and began remodeling and updating the facility.
The couple spent $200,000 to modernize and beautify the building, which called upon the help of local contractors to work on new air conditioning units, the emergency generator, as well as roofers and plumbers.
Wellspring now features two buildings located on over 13-acres of park and provides 17 assisted living beds and 17 independent living beds that have been approved by the state.
