In 1958 it was clear that the people in Barry County needed a medical care facility that would address the needs of the frail, elderly, and medically challenged. Now 63 years later, Thornapple Manor is once again, as it has done repeatedly in the past, responding to a need in our area.

 

With the severe housing shortage in our community, the Barry County’s Department of Health and Human Services board worked with a strong team from Thornapple Manor, CM Contracting, and representatives from Eckert Wordell, to create a facility that will be called Harvest Pointe, in honor of the countryside where the 50-unit assisted living project will be built.

 

Thornapple Manor, the 161-bed county owned skilled nursing facility located three miles east of Hastings, is hosting groundbreaking ceremonies for Harvest Pointe at 2:00 p.m. this Friday, May 21, 2021. Address will be 2950 McKeown Rd.  The public is welcome to attend the groundbreaking.

 

Administrator Don Haney stated about this week’s ceremony “Thornapple Manor is excited to be looking forward to the future with a new addition in our continuum-of-care services. We are adding Harvest Pointe; a 50 bed assisted living facility designed to provide another state-of-the-art option for Barry County Seniors needing support to maintain their independence.”

 

“Thornapple Manor will be 100% responsible for all debt payments, including the start-up phase” reminded Haney, and he continued “We appreciate the support we have received from our commissioners and community.”

 

Harvest Pointe will offer one bedroom, one bedroom deluxe suites and studio units. With dining services, spa, on-site laundry services, walking paths, transportation availability, hair/barber salon, activities, housekeeping, mail services, on-call nursing, and more, Harvest Pointe will fit the needs of many.
