BELLEFONTE Beginning at 8 a.m. Wednesday, the nonprofit Centre Care moved residents from Centre Crest in Bellefonte down the road to a brand-new $45-million facility called Centre Care Rehabilitation and Wellness Services in College Township.
“Today is one of the biggest events in our 82-year history and we started getting ready several months ago,” Andrew Naugle, Centre Care’s administrator said.
Twelve vans took turns moving residents and welcoming them to their new home. Once they arrived a team showed them around the new building, helped them unpack, hung pictures and assisted with the residents settling in.
