The Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Three Rivers Care in celebration of its grand reopening. The ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 17, at 1305 Alexander St. in Centralia. The grand reopening will follow.
Three Rivers Care closed in January 2022 due to flooding in the area that resulted in moving all residents to their facility in Olympia. Instead of reopening right away, Three Rivers Care seized the opportunity to renovate the entire facility. Now that Three Rivers Care is reopening, its administrative and health care workers are excited to welcome back former residents and open their doors to new residents, as well.
The newly renovated facility has 43 rooms for up to 83 residents, a therapy gym, a beauty salon and an indoor garden, among other features. Residents have plenty of entertainment at Three Rivers Care with five to six activities offered a day, from crafts to book club to karaoke. Three Rivers Care Administrator Ashley Hogue shared what she’s most excited about for the reopening, saying, “For me it's being able to bring [the residents] back home. It’s been a long time coming and they’ve been so excited.”
The community is invited to join the ribbon-cutting and grand opening festivities with an open house, food and beverages, a hot cocoa bar, ornament making and a visit with Santa for the kids. They’ve decorated three areas with different holiday themes: Winter Wonderland, North Pole and Candyland Gumdrop.
