Groundbreaking for the third pod at Northgate Nursing Home was held Thursday, February 28th with the Ambassadors from the Chamber of Commerce in attendance.  The new Skilled Nursing and long-term care building will house 18 beds and be built like the original Heaton House, that was completed in 2014.  Jody Knox, CEO, gave a brief history of Lakeview and its commitment to the Carlsbad community since 1960.  The third pod is named “Runkle Residence” after long-time board member, Jim Runkle.  Members of his family were in attendance, as well as many others from the business community.  President Alan Wood spoke to the crowd sharing fond memories of working with Jim over the years and how honored he was to name this new pod “Runkle Residence”.  This project was made possible only through the generous donations of several large donors including The TLC Foundation, Estelle Yates Foundation and Peyton Yates of Artesia, along with numerous other donors responding to our year-end appeal.  The new building is expected to be completed in early 2025.
