State Rep. Blaine Wilhour spent Thursday morning touring the new Brookstone Estates senior assisted living facility in Olney, Richland County. During his visit, he met with residents to discuss issues related to state programs and public policies affecting seniors.

"With a growing number of senior citizens in our state, the need for facilities such as these is becoming more popular," Wilhour noted. He emphasized the importance of having healthcare professionals on-site to address any medical needs promptly.

The visit included a tour of Emerald Glen and a town hall meeting where residents voiced their concerns and suggestions regarding state initiatives impacting their lives.
