By any measure, Vancrest has been successful in its first two years in Ada. The company will celebrate its second anniversary with a carnival, open to the public, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 16.

There will be face painting, Tatter the Clown making animal balloons for the kids, a DJ, bouncy house, games, prizes, candy, popcorn, cotton candy, and a free lunch featuring hamburgers or hotdogs. All are welcome.

The $6 million facility filled quickly. The assisted living side of 35 units is full. Presently, there  are a couple of units open on the nursing home/rehab side which has a total of 50 units.
