On March 29 Koelsch Communities, a family-owned and operated senior living provider, announced the hiring of Julie Luce, RN, to act as Executive Director for their upcoming $93 million development in Bellevue, Belle Harbour.

“I have a tremendous amount of respect for Koelsch Communities and couldn’t be happier to lead the team at Belle Harbour,” said Luce. “Everything that Koelsch does is personal and for the benefit of its residents, their families, health care providers and the community at-large.”
