Project Challenges
- Convert an old nursing home with large centralized living and dining rooms to a more marketable household model
- Create a findable front door to the community that welcomes residents and visitors
- Maximize secure and usable connections to the outdoor environment
Project Process
CLS worked collaboratively with St. Joseph Residence leaders, staff and residents to define long-term goals and develop an expansion and remodel plan to accommodate the facility’s continuum of care model. Focus groups and studies informed enhancements to meet unfilled needs for care in the community.
Project Highlights
- Short-term stay rehabilitation guests enjoy exclusive living and dining space in the new addition
- A stepped garden wall allows for living space in a sunken ground-level floor
- A renovated living room adds natural light and a new entry to the community
- Numerous four-seasons rooms connect living spaces with the outdoors
- A sun room near the main entry allows residents a sunny spot to greet visitors
