The goal for
this unit was to integrate the resident rooms and the therapy areas on the
same floor.
The patient
rooms were modernized and refinished to create a more residential feel,
including the addition of arched openings into each room, and the
remodeling of the bathroom, some of which were enlarged to comply with the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
Other patient
rooms were combined to form large physical therapy and occupational
therapy spaces with nurse
stations.
A
new Activities for Daily Living kitchen and bathroom allow for retraining
in familiar surroundings, including a residential washer and dryer.
