Our community currently has over 500 assisted living beds for elderly currently which are very well supported by local business owners who live & are apart of our community. I was at the Wasilla Chamber meeting and listened to the Maple Spring presentation & seriously they are clueless about life in the Valley. They sited statics over 10 years old about our area & even compare their competition as being Permirose Senior complex. Which means they are seeking to serve a higher end of clients not the majority of our community who live below income medium in the MatSu area & actually Their biggest point they keep driving was their hospice care unit which most Alaskans want their loved one at home during the final stage. I fully support MatSu Colony coming because our need for skill nursing care facility and have one close to our hospital would benefit so many of our family, friends and community. They looked at current data and saw our need and our looking to fill the need of our community
