Local Hospice Operation Adds Third Home
For those Lemon Grove residents who have loved ones at Sharp HospiceCare in La Mesa, the home has announced the addition of another residential facility.
Sharp HospiceCare announced today that it has acquired a 1.1-acre residential property in Bonita, where its third Hospice Home will be located.
A dedication and blessing of the site, across from the Sweetwater Women's Club, is scheduled for Wednesday. Construction work, which will include razing of the existing residence, is set for August and move-in could take place next year, according to Sharp.
Plans for the new 6,000-square-foot home feature a modern hacienda design and six private patient rooms with patios.
