The renovation included the reconfiguring of an existing 26-room wing dedicated to memory care for residents with cognitive issues. The existing double-loaded corridor with the centralized nursing and staff space was the baseline for the re-invention of care and delivery of services. The existing conditions were evaluated and the re-design utilized a currently un-used exterior concrete deck and underutilized staff spaces to create a den/living/activity space, a country kitchen used for both serving food and for activities with residents, a smaller staff work area that is designed as approachable for the residents, a day-lit dining space, and a sunroom. The double occupancy resident rooms were re-designed to support as much privacy as possible; including the layout of toe-to-toe beds staggered to give each resident more identifiable individual space. The access to existing windows and indirect lighting solutions were made possible through the redesign and a resident activity bathroom, staff bathroom, medication area, and storage were designed into the ‘household hub’.  The existing shower and bathing areas were underutilized – and were re-designed to create brightly lit, usable, and desirable spaces.
