Communty General Hospital Front Elevation
|
As part of a $67 million refinance and reconstruction project, Community General Hospital developed a plan to support the growing elderly population in Sullivan County, New York. The intent was to construct a 60-bed RHCF on the third floor of the existing hospital. This new facility was designed with the staffing efficiencies of a 60-Bed Unit, but maintained the architectural qualities and requirements of a stand alone 713 Guideline New York State Department of Health compliant skilled nursing facility.
The new Residential Health Care Facility (RHCF) was designed to create an atmosphere far different from the hospital’s acute inpatient services. Resident programs and the nursing unit design was laid out to foster the highest level of resident functioning and well being in a comfortable and home-like environment.
These results were accomplished by renovating 27,500 square feet and constructing a 5,000 square foot addition over the existing second floor of the hospital. The addition was designed to clear a span of 68' over the second floor roof, enabling the existing OB/GYN Department and delivery rooms to remain in operation with minimal disruption.
