The Town Square Assisted Living in Viera recently announced its decision to close its doors on October 31, 2021. This was a difficult choice, as the occupancy at the facility has remained low, with less than 35 percent of the units currently occupied. Despite efforts to increase occupancy, The Town Square has been underutilized for some time, even before the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision to close was made in light of these challenges, with a commitment to ensuring the well-being of residents and providing access to alternative senior living options in the community.
Steward Health Care, the organization behind The Town Square, remains dedicated to supporting the needs of residents and the broader community. They are working to facilitate the transition of residents to nearby assisted living communities, ensuring continuity of care and services. The closure of The Town Square will also involve the potential transfer of staff to other units within Rockledge Regional Medical Center, demonstrating a commitment to supporting employees during this transition.
While the decision to close The Town Square may be disappointing for residents, families, and staff, Steward Health Care is focused on finding positive solutions for all involved. The organization's Director of Marketing, Cathy Pague, expressed gratitude for the hard work and dedication of the medical and professional staff at The Town Square, emphasizing their commitment to providing quality care to residents. Moving forward, Steward Health Care will continue to prioritize the well-being of seniors in the Viera community, exploring ways to ensure access to high-quality and affordable senior living options.
As The Town Square Assisted Living prepares to close its doors, residents, families, and staff can expect ongoing support and assistance from Steward Health Care. The organization's commitment to the community remains steadfast, and efforts are underway to facilitate a smooth transition for all involved. While this marks the end of an era for The Town Square, it also signals a new chapter in providing senior living options that meet the needs of Viera residents.
