The Cherry Village Apartment Story...
It’s often said, that it takes a village to raise a child. When I think back to how Cherry Village Apartments got started I reflect on how “if a village is made up of elders and seniors wise, understanding, and filled with knowledge, than the community spirit will take on the leadership from within.”
In the past the notion of "aging in place", was taken for granted, believing your retirement, social security, children, inheritance, or one or more of these financial resources would definitely cover your basic need of “a roof over your head”. The fact is today senior care housing and healthcare demands are increasing.
As the Founder and CEO of Cherry Village Apartments I’ve assembled a staff that is more like a family. To have the compassion and commitment for senior care giving must be genuine and from the heart. Since the doors opened in Cherry Village Apartments in 1980, as a 147 affordable housing development it is a dream and a reality to build and manage senior care affordable housing. I have accomplished that with being one of the first certified subsidized affordable housing complex in Homestead, Florida. I've been told that you must be more visible, doing more interviews and get more publicity The choice to do the opposite stems from my family values, faith, and belief "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves". It is work to be done and at Cherry Village Apartments we strive for the achievement of the greater good every day and in every way.
The State of the, senior care, industry is helping Cherry Village Apartments to continue developing and supplying affordable housing for the elderly, aged, seniors, handicapped, and disabled individuals and families. It was built pursuant to sustainability development standards and supports the evolving housing green initiatives.
Senior Care Industry in 2013 at a Glance
Thanks to the aging of the baby boomer generation born in the late 1940s and 1950s, the American population is getting older. Between 2010 and 2050, the senior population will swell dramatically.
As the boomer population reaches age 65, the senior population is projected to reach 88.5 million – well over twice the number of seniors in 2000 and twenty percent of the total population of the United States. 8,000 people will turn 65 every day in 2011.
This increasing elderly population has and will necessitate more senior healthcare. In fact, in the late 2000s, there were more than 17,000 providers of home healthcare to 7.6 million people, servicing anything from temporarily illness, to disabilities, to terminal illness. This is a substantial increase from the mere 1,100 providers in place in 1963. The combined annual revenue for these providers is $57.6 billion, up from 38.3 billion in 2003.
Why is Homestead a great destination for senior care?
Homestead is a perfect destination for the increased demands for affordable and subsidized housing. The City of Homestead, is the second oldest city in Miami-Dade County, 30 minutes or less to downtown Miami, and is driving distance to the Florida Keys.
Homestead is a scenic area of parks, farming, and a downtown historic area with one of the few operating guide tour Trolley’s left in Miami. The weather up north of frigid temperatures convinces seniors to move in a 75 degrees temperature city located close to shopping, hospitals, a safe environment, strong political leadership, and diverse neighborhoods.
What is the philosophy of Cherry Village Apartments Leadership.
"To identify the growing needs of senior care living and provide an environment of dignity, comfort, and compassion, Cherry Village is here and ready for you when you are."
