All who attend will tour the glass covered all-season pool area, the Bistro Café, the gathering room, exercise facility, computer bank and library. Prize giveaways include a pack of four River Cats tickets, season tickets to the Music Circus and a grand prize of $1,000 in cash. Tom Bors, Northern California Division president said the event is a milestone for Lakemont Homes and the residents of Eskaton Village.

"The completion of this village center is a beautiful thing,” said Bors. “It signifies a complete community; with the homes, the lodge residents, and now the village center. We are excited to continue assisting people in the journey of aging in place."


Eskaton Village Roseville, the recipient of the 2008 MAME Community of the Year Award will welcome visitors into their model homes which will be open for tours throughout the two-day event. The beautifully decorated models incorporate roomy halls and doorways and oversized windows for natural light. Appliances are positioned for ease of use and bathrooms are stylishly designed for senior safety. The French cottage style of the homes has covered porches that encourage neighborly interactions. Daily walks through the lushly planted paths are very popular with the homeowners. The community boasts a 24/7 courtesy patrol and is gated as a safety feature.

The village also features the Eskaton Demonstration Home, a teaching tool for senior homebuilders and winner of National Association of Home Builders 50+ Housing Council’s building and design award. The Eskaton Lodge, an assisted living and memory care facility is also a valuable asset in the community and designed for seniors who need the extra help. This multi-service community is the latest innovation in senior living, offering homeownership and services to help residents age-in-place.

Lakemont Homes, the builder of both Eskaton Village Roseville and Placerville recognized what experts agree is a vital part of successful aging – staying socially engaged. The Village Center will offer educational classes and a place to hold a variety of club meetings. Daytrips to various places of interests will also be on the agenda once the center is open for use. The Bistro Café will offer light lunches, desserts and hot drinks. The Gathering Room features a floor to ceiling fireplace and a number of computers for homeowners to use. The activities room will allow homeowners to take classes in crafts and watch movies on a large screen television that drops down from the ceiling. A reading room is also in the design and will have large book cases to facilitate book sharing. Social events and informal get-togethers will be held on a regular basis. The three main rooms in the center feature moveable walls to accommodate large gatherings.

The pool area is designed to be comfortable in every kind of weather. The glass-covered structure offers easy access for seniors with a gently sloping ramp for wheelchairs and walkers. A hot tub soaking pool is also a feature of the new center. The exercise facility will house state-of-the-art equipment and a place to hold aerobics, yoga, tai-chi and chair exercise classes.

Homeowner Millie Robinson has been watching the progress from her patio. “Oh, I’m so looking forward to the pool,” said Robinson. “I chose my home site because it’s just across the street. I’m just going to love it!”

Homeowner Ken Snow, a retired pilot for Pan American, said he’s very happy to see the progress. “It’ll be fun to meet friends over here for breakfast or lunch,” said Snow whose wife resides in the Lodge. “I’m really looking forward to the pool. But, I’ll also use the exercise facility, of course!”
