BELLEFONTE–The nonprofit Centre Care celebrated closing a $35.6 million loan on June 28 at First National Bank in State College for the county’s newest nursing facility, which is currently under construction on the Benner Pike.

The state-of-the-art health center will offer traditional long-term care, as well as three specialty neighborhoods that are in high demand for Centre County residents — a high acuity neighborhood for patients with complex medical conditions, a memory care neighborhood of which there are few in the area, and a short-term rehabilitation neighborhood.

The site will also have room to grow and expand services in the future.

Coordinated by Lancaster Pollard, the loan is a partnership between Centre Care, First National Bank and the USDA.

The loan will provide Centre Care with a low-cost, permanent financing structure, which will allow the nonprofit to continue its mission of caring for the residents of Centre County.
