SHAWN TYSON HAS MANAGED many a construction

project over the years, but never one quite so interactive

as the new Health & Wellness Center that’s under way at

Rolling Green Village.

“We are working right in the middle of this community,”

says Tyson, a project manager with SYS Constructors, the

general contractor overseeing what’s a combination of

renovation and new construction at the hub of Rolling

Green’s 175-acre campus. “Every day we have residents

stop by to check on our progress—they’ve been looking

forward to the new wellness center for a long time and they

are excited to see it taking shape.”

Tyson especially enjoys chatting with the retired architects,

carpenters and other craftsmen who call Rolling Green

home—kindred spirits who have taken a special interest in

the construction process—and these conversations make

clear SYS is building not merely a structure but a dream

come true. And that dream, of course, is all about a happier,

healthier lifestyle for current and future residents.

“This is such an exciting time for Rolling

Green Village,” says RGV Health Care

Administrator Hope Hickman. “e are

eagerly anticipating the many amenities

our Health Center Expansion will provide

enabling Rolling Green Village to give the

best care to Greenville’s senior adults.”

AGING WELLThe idea of seniors quietly rocking away

their golden years has been replaced with

the ideal of a vigorous retirement designed

to help them age well.

“Today’s seniors want more quality

years,” says RGV Executive Director Eric

Dudasko, “and that can be achieved

through our dedicated emphasis on

wellness and physical fitness.”

Thus the new Health & Wellness

Center includes 10,800 square feet

of brand-new wellness space—an

aerobics activity room, cardio/strength

training room, indoor swimming pool,

wellness clinic, massage therapy suite

and physical/occupational/speech

therapy suite—as part of an overall

33,000-square-foot expansion.

Rolling Green Village is home to a

diverse group of seniors of varying ages

and varying fitness levels, too, so the

challenge is meeting everyone’s different

wellness needs. With that in mind, the

new pool will offer a range of water

aerobics, lap swimming and hydrotherapy

while the activities room will host an

assortment of group fitness classes—low-

impact aerobics, core conditioning, yoga,

tai chi, even ballroom dancing. Keiser

pneumatic strength training and cardio

equipment will fill the workout room.

And to complement physical wellness,

Dudasko says, Rolling Green plans

activities that also promote intellectual,

spiritual and emotional wellness.

Unfortunately not every senior enjoys

good health, and therefore the continuing

care community’s expansion project

includes 30 additional beds in the

skilled nursing unit with rehab suites for

temporary stays.

“This expansion allows Rolling Green

to better serve the Greenville community

with our proven quality nursing services,”

Dudasko says. “Now non-residents can

also experience our exceptional care in

their time of need.”

GOOD NEIGHBORSMcMillan Pazdan Smith provided the

architectural design for the Rolling Green

Village Health & Wellness Center while

SYS Constructors is general contractor.

“Rolling Green is an active participant

in our local community and economy,”

Dudasko explains. “For that reason, we

utilize local services whenever we can.”

Todd Malo, VP/Operations at SYS,

notes that the Greenville-based general

contractor turned around and hired

Greenville-based subcontractors, too.

“Keeping that money local boosts the Upstate economy,”

Malo points out. What’s more, he says, as neighbors SYS has a

vested interest in ensuring the project runs smoothly.

And smooth it’s been. “We are on schedule in some areas

and even ahead of schedule in others,” Tyson says, noting

there are upwards of 80 workers on site during peak times.

The project is slated for completion in November.

Residents have been extremely

accommodating of the building process. “Our

goal is to maintain everyone’s quality of life

while construction occurs around them,”

Dudasko says, noting that SYS has gone above

and beyond to keep noise, construction debris

and other disruptions to the absolute minimum.

“Safety and cleanliness have been a priority.”

Rolling Green Village offers a variety of

independent living options: six neighborhoods

of individual patio homes with one to three

bedrooms as well as apartments with choices

ranging from studios and effi ciencies to

spacious two- and three-bedroom layouts.

Also available, if needed, are assisted living,

memory care and skilled nursing services.

The vibrant campus enjoys a pastoral

setting complete with lakes, woodlands and

wildfl ower patches. Amenities include a full-

service dining room, beauty salon, library,

woodworking shop and, of course, the soon-

to-open Wellness Center. An array of available services—from

housekeeping to home maintenance to transportation and

more—make life at Rolling Green easy, while a jam-packed

activities calendar keeps life interesting.

That’s why this is THE place to enjoy a happy, healthy

retirement. v
