operations.”
Project Description
Pomeroy Medical Clinic was constructed in the early
70’s and designed to accommodate a single practice physician. The building currently accommodates one
physician and two practicing ARNP’s.
The space is no longer suitable for its current use and needs
modifications to improve patient care, workflows and records storage. The clinic is 1,800 SF with three exam
rooms and patient volumes of 20-30 per day.
The physical nursing home is vintage 1970’s, with a
nurse’s station central to two nursing units and a common dining/day activity
area. One of the wings is dedicated
to dementia “Gentle Care.” Support
areas for the nursing home including business office, dietary, housekeeping,
therapy, and other ancillary support are located within – or shard with – the
hospital. The hospital is
physically attached and organizationally and functionally integrated with the
nursing home. The vision for the
nursing home environment is to alter the physical environment, organizational
environment, staffing, and programs to ensure the residents retain control,
choice and dignity.
