SCHENECTADY, NY
The Capital Living and Rehab Centre (formally Hallmark Nursing Centre), in Schenectady, NY intends to consolidate and upgrade two of their existing nursing homes. The result is a 310-bed nursing home, designed to meet the needs of residents and staff in a "home-like, household setting". Each unit includes two 20-bed households, which enables residents to interact with each other as well as with staff.
The building, which is to be located in a residential area, was designed to look less institutional in order to fit into the surrounding neighborhood.
The project is currently in the Design Development phase, awaiting Department of Health Approval.
