Many of our elderly people often move to Richmond to such places as Morning Pointe or McCready Manor/St. Andrews retirment place on Tates Creek Road. Some of the widows of our businessmen of the past have moved to Richmond because they couldn't find the housing they wanted in Irvine. Many elderly worry about their safety and need a community with a full time guard on duty.
Out elderly people would just as soon stay in Irvine if they had a place to stay. It would be easier for people to drive in Irvine than Richmond.
Property owners along KY 52, 499 and 89 need to explore various businesses that might be interested in locating in Estill County.
There is a local need for elderly services. Adult Horizon does a good job taking care of the elderly during the day time. But we need better housing for the elderly.
Local and out of town developers need to be aware of the NEED in this area. Lots of Estill natives living in Richmond because they can live somewhere that provides 24/7 care, protection and transportation to doctor or Wal Mart. We are losing these people and we need their business. We need them. They need us.
