Benedictine Living Community-Garrison was built in 1969 to support the local elderly populationâs desire to stay in their beloved town when they could no longer live on their own. Now 45 years later, we are proud to say that we are still serving the community and providing a place in which our family and friends from Garrison and the surrounding area are able to call home. The Meadows was made possible with donations from generous members of our community and a matching amount from Benedictine Health System. Our doors opened in 2009, furthering our commitment to our local elderly by providing assisted living options for those who arenât able to stay in their homes, but not ready for skilled care.
