It is the county's first affordable housing assisted living facility. Owners say it is the only one in the state with private rooms.

Before the facility,many older residents were forced to stay in their home alone longer than they should, go to nursing homes prematurely or leave the area to find care.

The 23-unit building currently has four residents. Owners hope to fill every room in the coming months.
