Congratulations the Alliance Community for Retirement Living
The Chamber’s July Beautification Award was presented to the Alliance Community for Retirement Living.

The Alliance Community for Retired Living has been in DeLand for over 52 years providing care and services for senior adults. During that time they have grown from one building to over 70 buildings, occupying a 24-acre campus in the southwest area of downtown DeLand. In January 2007, they employed Dennis Wright as their Supervisor of Grounds. As a local central Florida owner/operator of a garden center and nursery, Dennis brought with him over 25 years of experience in Florida plant material and landscape design.

Colorful gardens are popping up all over the Alliance Community grounds. The use of a decorative water fountain, hanging Pathos baskets, palms, poodle cuts and other various potted plants have created a garden-like ambiance in front of the Center for Health Care. His idea is to create a colorful, appealing environment with a soothing atmosphere for the nearly 300 residents who make the Alliance Community their home. Future plans are to create additional garden, sitting and activity areas throughout the facility.

Congratulations Alliance!
