The Story of Arthur's White Pines
When we moved into this house, we also began providing residential services for a number of people with disabilities through our company, ACR Homes - a company widely known for its high caliber staff. We often talked of our dreams to eventually provide residential support services for the elderly. In 2006 we moved from our house at 1854 Alta Vista into a condo. It was a hard decision, as those walls were permeated with the love and laughter of our children and grandchildren and we had grown to love the beautiful setting with all the trees. We reflected on how we could convert the home to support the elderly. We made the decision to retrofit the home to provide services for six seniors who needed support to live in a small community residential setting. We are thrilled with how the remodeling accomplished this. Both Dorothy and I feel that we ourselves would be very comfortable moving back here someday if needed. Welcome to Arthur's White Pines. I, along with Dorothy and our children and grandchildren who have all enjoyed this house immensely, hope you will be as happy here as we have been. With warm regards, |

My name is Jim Nelson. My wife Dorothy and I were thrilled to purchase the home at 1854 Alta Vista Drive in the fall of 1981. It was a larger home than we needed for our family at the time, which included the two of us and our children Paul and Anne, but we bought it because we hoped to care for our parents someday if they should need help. In 1982 this idea came to fruition when my parents moved in due to the increasing health needs of my father, Arthur Nelson. A few years later Dorothy's parents did the same. The name Arthur's White Pines comes from my dad, Arthur, who was the very first person served in this home. He loved white pine trees, and all the white pines surrounding the house were transplanted from his farm.
