The Wellmore of Tega Cay—focused on wellness

Each one- or two-room unit, ranging from 630 to 1,100 square feet, comes... Read More »Spotlight on Texas
For several reasons, Texas has become the most attractive state for private developers to build senior living communities. Zoning laws in Texas are more lax than in most states, making it easier—and usually less expensive—to build.
