Open Mic

Laughter and cheer filled the air as more than 120 future residents, guests and staff of Mirador, Corpus Christi’s first and only life care senior living community, gathered to celebrate the holiday season.  Guests were greeted with stylish décor which set the mood for the activities yet to come. The celebration began with wine and savory hors d’oeuvres, and as the evening continued, an elegant meal was served followed with enticing desserts.  The event was held at the Art Center of Corpus Christi.

“It’s exciting to know that this time next year we will be celebrating the holiday season at Mirador,” said Wendy Gainan, director of sales and marketing for Mirador.  “2010 was a great year, and 2011 will prove to be even better as Mirador will be opening its doors.  We wouldn’t be at this point if it was not for our amazing future residents, and the staff here at Mirador gives thanks for each and every one of them.”

Now under construction in the heart of south Corpus Christi, Mirador will be the area’s only full service life care senior living community.  The $79 million gated community will include approximately 125 customized independent living apartment homes, each with a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, and 24-hour emergency response system, as well as 44 private assisted living suites, 41 private rooms for dignified nursing care, and 18 private residences for memory support. Designed to enrich the lives of seniors, Mirador will feature 25,000 square feet of commons areas on a lush 17-acre campus with a premier location close to local restaurants, shops and attractions.

Mirador will be a 501(c)3 not-for-profit senior living community sponsored by Senior Quality Lifestyles Corporation (SQLC), a Texas-based nonprofit organization that sponsors sister communities Edgemere in Dallas, The Buckingham in Houston, Querencia at Barton Creek in Austin, and The Stayton at Museum Way under construction in Fort Worth.  For information, visit www.miradorretirement.com, or call (361) 288-7027.
