Tabitha Breaks Ground on New InterGenerational Living Community
Nonprofit Tabitha (tabitha.org), the state’s leading senior care expert, is pleased to announce that they have officially broken ground on their InterGenerational Living Community.
This new development is creatively tackling three major challenges that currently impact our communities. These factors include: 1) epidemic of loneliness, 2) lack of moderately priced housing, and 3) shortage of health care workforce to support seniors. This solution is a first-of-its-kind, ever, living concept to meet the needs of independent seniors (65+) and Bryan College of Health Sciences Students.
The InterGenerational Living Community is made up of 128 apartment suites and is coming to life at the northwest end of their main campus at the corner of S 47th Street and ‘L’ Streets in Lincoln. Tabitha took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather in February with Brester Construction grading the site to begin building.
In March, the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce; Bryan College of Health Sciences; InterGenerational Steering Committee, led by co-chairs Mark and Kathi Hesser; Christie Hinrichs, Tabitha president and CEO; along with Tabitha Board Members and TEAMembers celebrated as Tabitha officially broke ground for this innovative living community. Early interest further solidifies that Tabitha is heading in the right direction and filling a big need. Forty-three parties have inquired about calling InterGen home to-date. In fact, five seniors already reserved their apartments. The community is set to open in late Summer 2023.
