This website introduces an ambitious project
to construct a Veteran Residential Rehabilitation Facility near the Bill Hefner
Veterans Administration Hospital in Salisbury, North Carolina.
The project is led by
Pioneers for Quality Health, Inc.,
a nonprofit health advocacy organization, who has acquired 22 acres of land
locally known as Thoroughbred Prestigious Valley. The location of
the property is on North Carolina Highway 150 in Rowan County. It provides easy access to
state and interstate highways; and, is adjacent to property developed and owned
by U.S. Senator Elizabeth Dole.
The use of the land as a site for a future veteran residential
rehabilitative facility shows the organization's concern and commitment to
returning veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Board members for Pioneers
are aware of the need for responsible uncompromising care for our veterans. Our
brave men and women have been called upon to sacrifice so much more than those who
remain at home. Pioneer's believe it is never too late to make a worthy sacrifice
for our nation.

VETERAN'S RESIDENTIAL
FACILITY FOR DISABLED VETERANS PROJECT
Our organization is
proud to announce the procurement of property on which to
construct a Residential Facility for Disabled Veterans.

THOROUGHBRED
PRESTIGIOUS VALLEY
|
|
This beautiful pristine valley
has been acquired by Pioneer's for Quality Health, Inc. for the purpose of
building residential facilities for disabled volunteer United States soldiers.

|
It was during the civil war
that concerned women in northern states began the first civilian sponsored
"homes" for disabled veterans. War has often resulted in men and
women discharged with physical and emotional
problems that keep them from finding employment
and enjoying life. Recent disclosure reveal the nations dire need for residential rehabilitative care
for our returning injured.
Today, there are veteran homes in every
county of this great country. There are also a few residential facilities
that provide health and rehabilitative programs. These facilities are vital and
necessary to the health of our military and our communities.

Facility Plans |
 |
Pioneers are executing plans to construct a
Rehabilitation Facility that will compliment the V.A.
Already having acquired Thoroughbred Prestigious Valley, the organization needs financial support to complete
their mission. Thoroughbred Prestigious Valley is a tract of
22 wooded acres and is located three miles east of the VA Hospital in Salisbury,
NC. The property has been developed to the point where there is access to
public electricity, water and sewage, two man-made fishing ponds, and lamppost
lighted roadway infrastructure. The serenity and peaceful atmosphere of this
gated property is well suited to locate a transitional rehabilitation facility. |
|
Plans include:
Administration Building: Immediate plans calls for 4,600 square foot administration building
designed to house
staff offices, activity center, library, food storage, meal preparation and dining area, chapel, on site medical and
physical therapy stations.
The Veteran Restoration and Counseling Center
will house substance abuse
rehabilitation program and mental health counselors with background in the
treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
Plans for Residences include ten 5-bedroom ADA specified structures with
lounge area; 5 bathroom
facilities with shower, laundry room, and sun deck. To maximize space and
to serve larger numbers of disabled veterans, the residential buildings will not
include full kitchens as all meals will be prepared and served in the dining
area of the admin building.
There are future plans for a family and visitor lodge to accommodate
veteran's family.
These designs will serve the needs of 1,000 veterans at a time. The mission
and goal of the facility is to provide setting and support that will revive,
rehabilitate, and transition veterans out to their respective families and
communities with tools for successful re-integration.
