Master Plan First Floor67 viewsThe Friendly Home is a 204-bed long-term care facility consisting of 80 skilled nursing (SNF) and 124 health-related (HRF) level of care beds. The oldest portion of the building, constructed in 1918, provides only HRF beds. The 1970 building provides HRF, SNF, and Alzheimer’s (special care /SCU) beds. Two initial scenarios were developed and presented to the Management Team, including the HRF, SNF and SCU groups, administration and the architect.
Once these scenarios and alternatives were reviewed, the Master Plan was developed in greater detail as follows: proposed site plan, unit configurations and bed counts, single versus double room mix, location and mix of SNF, SCU and HRF beds, square footage allocation, location of utility and support spaces, new construction and renovation cost, projected total project cost and construction schedule and phasing. This project’s primary goal was to upgrade most of the Home's HRF beds to SNF level of care. Older facilities across the state are facing this need to upgrade in order to compete in the long-term care marketplace.

Existing Entry57 viewsNursing homes throughout New York State are finding themselves affected by a natural change process called "aging in place." Their residents are growing older. As a result, many facilities are attempting to modify their programs to meet new challenges. One such facility is Kirkhaven Nursing Home. Lacking the services and spaces needed to accommodate Alzheimer's residents, it became apparent that modifications to the existing facility will be required. Therefore, the process of designing a unit with wandering paths, program space, rummaging areas, memory lane, and the Eden Alternative was begun.

Communty General Hospital Front Elevation63 viewsAs 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.
