Lakeview $10 thousand the better!

A small assisted living care facility, tucked away in a rural part of Oconee County, is $10 thousand better off today, thanks to the generosity of the foundation representing the communications giant Verizon. The donation by Verizon to Lakeview Assisted Care Facility, under the operation of Senior Solutions, was officially announced today in a ceremony headlined by South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Glenn McConnell. State Senator Thomas Alexander introduced McConnell, whose office has primary responsibility for senior citizen services. McConnell and the others taking part in this afternoon’s ceremony received a tour of the 19-bed facility, as well as a look at the progress Oconee County is making to install a handicap-accessible ramp.
