In April of last year, Char Mac Assisted Living announced they would be opening a 36-apartment assisted living complex in Manning. Just a little over one year later, and following a couple of construction set-backs on their timeline, CEO Jeanine Chartier and her family opened the doors to the first residents yesterday, Wednesday, June 1. The well-thought-out facility, which overlooks the football field at the IKM-Manning school building, offers residents the choice between one-bedroom or studio apartments and features access to a movie theater, an activity room, a lounge, formal and private dining rooms and outdoor patios. A formal grand opening, ribbon cutting and tours will be held Thursday, June 16 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the new facility located at 204 11th Street in Manning. Jill Miller will be performing during the open house beginning at 2 p.m. A video produced and published on Youtube by a family member of one of Char Mac’s new Manning residents can be found below.
