'Sopranos' Actor Helps Cut Ribbon At New Facility For Seniors In Livingston

LIVINGSTON, NJ — A building that's been growing on Cedar Street in Livingston is finally open.

Local officials cut the ribbon last week at the Spring Hills Livingston assisted senior living facility, which can house up to 150 people.

Mayor Michael Vieira and Deputy Mayor Al Anthony helped Alexander Markowits, President/CEO of Spring Hills, and Joyce Farinella, one of the founding residents, cut the ribbon.

At the celebration, attendees enjoyed listening to Al Sapienza and Donna Deborah Rennard sing a favorite song from Phantom of the Opera. They also had fun talking to Al about his days playing the role of Mikey Palmice on "The Sopranos."

The community in attendance at the new "Opulence Collection" facility enjoyed a champagne toast and appetizers.

For 24 years, Spring Hills has offered independent living, assisted living, memory care, and home care services.

The company said, "Opulence Collection’s Spring Hills Livingston brings an innovative balance of atmosphere, resort-like amenities, quality care, and personalized services to the community where luxury meets lifestyle so you can live happy ...
