 Halfacre Construction Company, a Lakewood Ranch-based commercial construction company, recently broke ground on Gulfside Hospice, a non-profit organization offering hospice, skilled home health care and palliative care for serious, chronic and late stage illnesses.  Located at 5299 Deer Park Drive in New Port Richey, the $11 million project includes a single-story hospice facility that has 24 private beds, new sitework, parking and landscaping. Clerestory windows will be incorporated to encourage natural lighting, as well as a waterfall feature situated in the lobby. The team celebrated the launch of the project with a commemorative groundbreaking ceremony on Friday, Dec. 8. During the event, attendees heard from Gulfside Hospice’s president and CEO, a chair of the board of directors, the medical director and more. Halfacre team members were also present for the ceremony. The project will launch this month, with an estimated completion of December 2024.  Gulfside Healthcare Services is a non-profit organization that has served for more than 30 years. Its three lines of business include Gulfside Hospice, offering care for patients at end of life, Gulfside Palliative Care, providing treatment options for those with chronic illness, and Gulfside Home Health, helping patients stay independent through skilled nursing and rehab at home.
