Sisters caregiver breaks ground

Absolute Serenity, an adult foster care provider in Sisters, is expanding its capacity to serve seniors in Sisters Country. David and Leah Tolle broke ground last week on a new adult foster care facility at the corner of Adams Avenue and Fir Street. This new facility will enable Absolute Serenity to continue its mission to provide seniors with a quality home environment and a smooth transition into a new phase of life.

The new facility will include studio apartments for independent seniors as a transitional form of housing before they go into the more intensive adult foster care.

"What we're trying to establish is multi-generational," said David Tolle. "We're hoping to bring a lot of people together. We will be able to provide some basic services to keep them there as long as possible and then have a smooth transition into the adult foster care."

The new facility will be named "Anna's Home" after Anna Jones, whom the Tolle's cared for over many years.

Absolute Serenity provides private rooms, housekeeping, meals and snacks, medication management and a range of life-enhancing activities. They are able to serve residents with Alzheimer's disease, special diet needs and other issues.

The Tolles expect to see the new home complex completed sometime around the middle of July.
