The silver lining in the Sept. 10 clouds that caused major damage at Cherry Village Benevolence is the earlier-than-planned opening of its new skilled-nursing rooms.Skilled nursing is the highest level of long-term care a facility can provide, said Jeremy Lewis, chief financial officer at Cherry Village, 1401 Cherry Lane. It offers 24-hour, on-site registered nursing care with many personal touches.“We had been developing our extensive update plan for quite a while,” Lewis said. “The storm caused a major disruption but it has been a blessing in disguise.“Since crews were here to repair the roof and other areas, it just made sense to start on the new project as well,” he continued.
