CLOVER RIDGE ASSISTED LIVING  in Maquoketa held the Grand Opening of their new addition this afternoon on Ehlers Lane up on the hill off West Platt Street.     Top photo shows the very large new family room, overlooking the city of Maquoketa.  Under it is another large storm-shelter and large-screen TV room.  There is an elevator to get down to this basement room.
Second photo is from hallway looking into an apartment.    The living room is straight
ahead...kitchen to right...and bedroom and bath around the corner.



There are 8 new  one-bedroom apartments. 
Above, is Nate Gjerstad, Manager of Clover Ridge, and another look at the large
family room.   
It is a beautiful new addition!    If you didn't get a chance to see it this afternoon, stop up and someone will be glad to give you a tour.
