A San Antonio-based senior living facility is getting ready to finish an expansion project that will nearly double its overall capacity.

What’s happening? BeeHive Homes of Crownridge—a senior living facility located in northwest San Antonio—is currently constructing a new building that will double its capacity, Jordan Sikora told Community Impact.

It’s located at 6919 Camp Bullis Road, next to the Pinnacle Montessori school, and is expected to open in June or early July.

The new assisted living center will feature 24 beds—adding to the 16 that were already available prior to expansion, according to its website.

Diving deeper: BeeHive Homes of Crownridge is owned and operated by the Sikora family, according to their website. The company was incorporated back in 2018, according to the Better Business Bureau.

The new facility will feature several new amenities:

  • Private rooms
  • Shared dining and community areas
  • Wide hallways
  • Barrier-free design

According to their website, the facility will be an alternative for those who prefer smaller nursing homes or assisted living facilities.
