Town officials and others recently donned hardhats and wielded shovels at two different Lincoln sites: the First Parish Church, which is doing interior renovations, and Care Dimensions’ new Greater Boston Hospice House on Winter Street. (Never mind that construction activity had already begun in both places—it’s the thought that counts.)
The hospice facility, slated for completion by November 2017, will feature 18 private patient suites including two pediatric suites for terminally ill patients and their families. Last year, Care Dimensions, which also operates the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers, cared for more than 1,300 patients living within 15 miles of the Lincoln site.
Work at the church is expected to be complete by June 1, 2017.
