101-year-old Astros fan wants to see Houston in the World Series

Posted on by Belmont Village

With the MLB playoffs underway, casual fans are clambering on to whichever bandwagon happens to be nearest them, but it would be tough to find a team that has a more experienced fan than the Astros.
Walter Peine, who was born and raised in Houston, will turn 102 years old on Oct. 20 and his only birthday wish is to see the Astros in the World Series.

He has been watching professional baseball in Houston since way before the Astros existed, attending Houston Buffs games as a child when they were a minor league affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Peine often would go to West End Park and Buff Stadium with his brother Leon, but he can’t remember anything too specific about those games, other than that his favorite player was Dizzy Dean, who pitched for the Buffs in 1930 and 1931 when Peine was a teenager.

Belmont Village Breaks Ground On Senior Center At Lincoln Common

Posted on by Belmont Village

On the heels of launching the central part of the ambitious Lincoln Common development, construction crews have now broken ground on the Belmont Village senior center that will be part of the project.

Groundbreaking began last week on Belmont Village, which will replace the old Nellie Black building at 700 W. Fullerton Ave., just across the street from the Lincoln Common development on the triangular lot formerly occupied by Children’s Memorial Hospital.

Belmont Village Senior Living has concentrated on the Chicago area since being founded 20 years ago, but this will be its first senior center within the city limits.

“There’s a huge need” for senior housing in Chicago, said Belmont Village founder and Chief Executive Officer Patricia Will. “We can’t think of a better place for housing and care for elderly seniors in an urban environment.” Continue reading “Belmont Village Breaks Ground On Senior Center At Lincoln Common” →

Message from CEO Patricia Will on hurricane disaster response at Belmont Village

Posted on by Belmont Village

Dear Belmont Village Families and Friends,

The devastation that has occurred and continues from Harvey is without precedent. Our two Houston communities are blessed with extraordinary teams on-site who have been working around the clock since the storm hit. Both buildings held strong with no flooding or leaks.

Once the floods receded, we were able to take in seniors who have been evacuated from nearby homes. The Houston community rallied, and we were able to source bedding, food and all necessary supplies.

We are especially grateful for the magnificent Belmont teams, and our resilient residents, who are keeping it together with poise, grace, and humor.

Many of our corporate and community team members have been impacted directly by the effects of Hurricane Harvey. Your words of support mean a lot to all of us at a time like this.

We have activated our BV Cares program to help support our staff members affected by the floods. We are grateful for your phenomenal support. Already we are disbursing funds to needy staff. If you would like to contribute, please send a return pledge via email to: bvcares@belmontvillage.com or simply send a check to our Corporate Office (8554 Katy Freeway, Suite 200, Houston, TX 77024, attn: BVCares). The check can be written to Belmont Village, with Belmont Village Cares written in the caption. You can also donate online at: www.youcaring.com/BVCares. Our Company matches every contribution dollar for dollar.

My thoughts and prayers are with our Houston area friends who may have suffered losses during this storm, and I hope for a speedy recovery.

My best wishes to all,

Patricia G. Will

The senior living industry will continue to be defined by increasing partnerships as owners, operators and providers strive for better ways to enhance their residents’ experience and improve their health, differentiate themselves from others, and sustain, strengthen and potentially expand their missions.

Partnerships with local organizations offer opportunities for social, cultural, educational, spiritual and personal fulfillment for residents.
