SAN ANGELO, TX – Buckner Retirement Services leaders announced a series of major campus renovations at the San Angelo Baptist Retirement Community Wednesday.
The planned update is for $8.4 million to key features of the senior living community and is scheduled to begin immediately.
Areas that will be renovated are the high-rise independent living apartment building and the Sagecrest nursing building, while also receiving road repairs and added curb appeal to the community, which has served seniors in San Angelo since 1951.
The plan also calls for the demolition of the Elsie Gayer nursing building while maintaining the existing chapel, maintenance and laundry buildings. The chapel at BRC will be named for Elsie Gayer at a special ceremony in December.
The updates are part of Buckner’s long-term campus renovation and repositioning plan, which began with construction of The Crest, a new assisted living memory care building that opened in 2016 on the 100-acre campus.
Charlie Wilson, Senior Vice President for Buckner Retirement Services, said the planned changes to the community represent “a major repositioning of Baptist Retirement Community, which will allow us to offer a greater experience for our resident members and is a real investment in San Angelo and the entire Concho Valley region.”
Aaron Hargett, BRC’s Executive Director, said that he is excited about the new campus plan. “Baptist Retirement Community has always had a great reputation in the Concho Valley for quality services. We’ve led the Concho Valley in the number of services we offer as the only Continuing Care Retirement Community in the Concho Valley. Now, we will offer these services in an updated, beautiful campus setting.”
Buckner affiliated with Baptist Retirement Community in 2010, and it is one of six Texas senior living communities owned and managed by BRS.
