Woodlands Senior Living LLC will break ground within weeks on a new memory care facility in Bridgton despite higher than originally expected costs and a difficult labor market.
Pending a permit from the Department of Environmental Protection, Woodlands plans to start construction in September at the latest with completion scheduled for the fall of 2022. The Bridgton Planning Board met in July and offered tentative approval for the facility, which will be a 48-bed center for people living with Alzheimer’s and related memory impairments.
“We’re committed to being in Bridgton despite significantly higher than anticipated costs. Project costs have gone up 25% in the past six to eight months, but that’s not going to keep us from doing this,” Matthew Walters, managing member of Woodlands Senior Living, told Mainebiz.
