Latest rumours

There are now (in May 2007) around 15 residents in Pioneer Villa. It is scheduled to close for the second or third time in around 10 months time i.e. in 2008. We have no word yet where the residents will go, or what will become of the staff, but scuttlebut has it that the new wing at Crestview Village may accommodate them whenever it's completed.
