About Seniors, Inc.
What
there is to tell is far exceeded by the
energy and active contribution of the many
individuals, young and old alike, who have
taken what was a mere figment of a concept
to the stage of an active and full-blown
process that will result in a new facility
geared to seniors. A place where they can
meet and pass on their knowledge, experience
and skills to help others, as well as
themselves, continue to grow in all aspects
of their lives.
During the spring 2002 a group of interested
seniors approached the City of Santa Rosa to
discuss mutually beneficial interests in
replacing the current Santa Rosa Senior
Center with a new facility that would
provide adequate and modern facilities
designed to meet the current and future
needs of the senior population living within
our geographical area.
Since our early beginnings the City has
unanimously supported our Mission by
modifying the General Plan to include a
specific location at the Finley Center at
the corner of Stony Point/Marlow Roads and
College Avenue on which the new center will
be built. Additionally, they have agreed to
accept this new building, paid for by
community donations, as a gift from Seniors,
Inc. and to provide ongoing staffing and
maintenance of the facility.
At this time we enter into the critical
stage of funding the new building. It is
estimated the new facility will cost
$10,000,000 including land. Through The
Lawrence And Gudrum Simons Fund, Larry
Simons of Simons & Woodard has made, as a
kick-off donation, a significant in-kind
contribution of $500,000, which will provide
the full-site building plans and related
support documents.

In
December of 2004, Santa Rosa’s City
Council Resolution Number 26146
passed and Seniors, Inc. signed an
agreement with Simons & Brecht to
act as the design and construction
management firm for the new senior
wing project. Prior to the passage
of the Resolution, Mr. Larry Simons,
a well-known local architect,
committed to donate $500,000 to
Seniors, Inc. to fund the creation
needed to complete the senior wing
addition to the Finley Center and to
fund the retention of a construction
management firm.
To
date, September 2008, we have made
countless presentations to
individuals,
businesses and community groups
about this project
and the urgent need for a new senior
wing. We have received grant
commitments and the donation of land
which equals to over 6.8 million
dollars towards our goal of 10
million.
Below
you will find various photos of the
project, comments about the people
involved and various descriptive
thoughts and statements to help you

this effort. Also available for
