After creating a new office space for our Social Services and Patient Care Coordinator, we were able to expand our medication room significantly. This allowed for much needed space for our medication storage.

The new and improved social services office was completed. There is now space for the care team to meet with patients and their families, and coordinate care of our patients, ease concerns, and assist families as needed.

Thanks to funding from the Medical Guild and grant funds, the dining room expansion is complete! This allows for more space during meals, activities, and other gatherings. Residents can maneuver with more freedom in the area, allowing them to be more independent and foster better relationships in our community. As we see our rooms remain full, our residents needing more equipment to remain independent, and our adventurous activities continue, this space will be appreciated for years to come.

The addition has been completed! The walk-in coolers are operational, the dry pantry is fully stocked, and the dock has been working wonderfully for the weekly truck deliveries. The kitchen staff are grateful for the additional space and save a lot of time gathering supplies for meals without having to go all the way to the basement.

With the expansion of the dining room, came a makeover for this area of the hospital. Wainscotting, fresh paint, and new decorations certainly improved the appearance of the space. Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing, but it also acts as an infection prevention strategy allowing for easier and more thorough cleaning of the wall surface, as well as protecting the walls from accidental scuffs from medical equipment.
