Increasing the Number of Private Bed Rooms in Existing Resident Care Wings

One of the critical issues involved in providing proper care and balancing the budget is finding ways to increase the number of private rooms in the resident care wings.  See:

Physical Plant - B: Resident Bedroom Changes
Market Analysis: Skilled Nursing Bed Need

If the Financial Feasibility Study supports the construction of new resident wings for the 120 skilled nursing residents, then the question of sufficient skilled private rooms will be addressed by the new construction.

If the skilled nursing beds are relocated, then the conversion of the existing resident wings into an 80-bed Adult Home will require the construction of additional bedrooms, as the existing structure will provide for a maximum of only 72 beds.

If the Financial Feasibility Study does not support replacement of the existing  SNF wings, then we must find other ways of resolving the existing problems.  One of the solutions is to construct additional bedrooms at the end of each resident wing.  See the following sketch plan:

The bedroom addition shown in this plan was designed as part of the addition required for the proposed Adult Home, but the layout would be identical for Skilled Nursing Beds.  The existing storage closets would be removed and the corridor extended into the addition.

By constructing these two private bed rooms at the end of each wing, the number of private rooms in each wing will double from four to eight.  The existing four private rooms would remain as they are.  This provides a flexibility with the existing 2-bed rooms by allowing any two of them to become a private room, which would help reduce the need to move residents to another room.

The new "deluxe" private rooms would most likely attract private-pay residents, which would increase revenues.  The increased total number of private bed rooms will help in the admission process, and would further increase revenues by eliminating empty beds.  See the following enlarged plan of the new private rooms.

One of the requests of the Montgomery Meadows nursing care staff was to have an in-room storage area.  This could be accommodated next to the resident closet in the vestibule of each room.

Our estimate for the construction of each of these bedroom additions would be $150,000.00 for a total of $450,000.00.  The associated renovation and interconnect cost would add another $15,000.00 to each wing for a total of $45,000.00, making a grand total of $495,000.00.
