"We are thrilled to welcome The Parkvue Community on Catawba Island into the United Church Homes family," said the Rev. Kenneth Daniel, chief executive officer of United Church Homes. "This strategic expansion enhances our mission to provide vibrant, supportive living environments for older adults. We are dedicated to upholding the strong legacy of care and community that has been established in this beautiful coastal location." Laurence Gumina, the chief executive officer of Ohio Living, looks forward to the transition. "In our strategic move to sell and redeploy capital and resources to other areas of the state, we are proud that our search for a new owner of the Vineyard to Catawba is United Church Homes," Gumina said. "With their established market presence in the surrounding area, their strong organizational values and aligned culture we couldn't have found a better partner." The Parkvue Community on Catawba Island will offer a wide range of amenities and services to support the well-being and quality of life of its residents.
