LANCASTER, PA – Benchmark Construction Company, Inc. of Brownstown, PA broke ground recently on the construction of the new Memory Care Residence at Cross Keys Village in New Oxford, PA. This new 31,241 square foot memory care residence facility has an approximate project value of $8,000,000 and will provide accommodations for 32 residents who are in early and middle stages of memory loss. This “small house” model is designed as two separate households consisting of 16 residents with spaces allocated for living, dining, cooking and a garden. The two households will be joined by a central service core consisting of supportive spaces and a kitchen. A semi-public area providing bistro style seating, a salon and store connects the two households to the main entrance.
