What We Did
We developed this design to balance operational efficiency with resident comfort. The skewed K-Plan creates an inviting open plan lobby area, as well as extra room for courtyards between wings, providing spacious living areas and a large courtyard with a walking path, benches, and a pergola. We positioned the central nurse station for line of sight visual control of the entire building, including through the Dayroom into the wider courtyard, enhancing staff efficiency and resident safety. To break up typical long hallways, we widened corridors to allow for furniture placement. Multiple relaxation options for residents include Dayrooms, an Activity area, a library, and a covered Patio overlooking the courtyard. The Physical Therapy area serves both residents and outpatients, offering Physical, Speech, and Occupational Therapy services.
The design demonstrates our ability to create environments that not only meet care standards but also enhance the daily lives of residents and staff.
