Horizon Assisted Living in Mesquite held an open house on Wednesday evening, January 23, to show its new facility to the area. The facility is owned and operated by Chuck and Cyndie Hanson, both of Mesquite.

Horizon Assisted Living serves a certain clientele, individuals who suffer from memory impairment diseases and their families. These are people who have Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Cyndie Hanson is a registered nurse and a licensed administrator for this type of assisted living center.

“The state license arrived this morning,” Cyndie said. “We went through so many inspections to get the facility open. It was nice that we are able to have them all for the opening.”

The Hansons purchased the home at 920 Leavitt Lane in Mesquite and had to gut the entire building. According to Cyndie, the only part of the old interior left was a brick and stonewall in the living room. “Everything else had to go to make doors wide enough and bathrooms and the kitchen safe for the residents,” Cyndie said.

The facility will have four fulltime staff working including two administrators. Two will be staff who will live in the facility 24-hours a day and there will be two staff members who will be on 10-hour shifts. Cyndie will serve as one administrator and her daughter Jenn Henningson will be the second. They are still looking to fill all the positions.

The center is able to house a total of eight residents. “We have activities planned for the residents from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed,” Cyndie said. “We don’t want them just watching TV all day, people with memory impairments need to have a lot of activity.”
