ROME — Syracuse–based Nascentia Health continues its focus on the Nascentia Neighborhood project at the Beeches property in Rome, a mixed-use development that will include independent and supportive-housing options for seniors.
Nascentia Health describes it as an “aging in place community crafted for active, aging adults,” per a Dec. 14 statement it emailed to CNYBJ.
“Our objective is to cultivate a vibrant and supportive environment, empowering residents to fully embrace their retirement years. This community is designed to provide adaptable healthcare services, ensuring a comprehensive and personalized approach to wellness as residents age,” the organization said.
Nascentia Health, which is headquartered at 1050 W. Genesee St. in Syracuse, is a home and community-based health-care system with operations in 48 upstate New York counties.
Back on July 24, the organization announced that crews had completed the first phase of the renovation work at Beeches Manor, the property’s restaurant and conference center. Nascentia Health called it a “significant milestone,” with the venue now open for events with a full-service restaurant.
Future development will include patio homes and other amenities “filling an important need for new, well-designed housing in the Rome area,” the organization said.
“Nascentia Health is thrilled to be an integral part of the Rome community, and we look forward to the continued success and growth of the Nascentia Neighborhood project,” it told CNYBJ.
In July, Nascentia Health announced that plans were underway to renovate and expand the former Beeches Inn into 55 units of accessible housing for seniors.
When asked in December about the status of the project, it said, “Dependent on funding, the senior apartments at the Beeches Inn project could begin as soon as next year [2024].”
The Beeches Restaurant and Conference Center and the Inn at The Beeches — which closed at the end of 2018 — was a longstanding, well-known venue for conferences and events in the region.
Nascentia Health President and CEO Kate Rolf on July 20, 2023 welcomed guests and staff and talked about the importance of bringing the Beeches property back to life for the Rome community. “With the completion of this initial phase of construction, we’ve reached a significant milestone in our vision, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to carry that momentum forward,” Rolf said in a release.
