North Pointe Health and Rehab Breaks Ground
Construction on a new skilled nursing facility has begun on Highway 39 at Windmill Drive in Meridian.
A groundbreaking was held Thursday for North Pointe Health and Rehab.
Officials say it will have 60 private rooms with twenty dedicated to the care of Alzheimer's patients.
Owner Bruce Kelly says this center will be a new concept for a nursing care.
"We're excited about that, that we can offer the public more privacy and dignity in an institutional type setting, but more of a home like environment as well," said Kelly.
Kelly says he hopes the nursing facility will be in operation in early 2014.
Job applications may be submitted through Poplar Springs Nursing Center, along with patient referrals .

Tuesday, December 11, 2012
The first new skilled nursing facility to be built in Odessa in approximately 30 years is now under construction, thanks to Garland, Texas-based SCC Healthcare Group. The Madison Medical Resort, a $10 million, 43,000-square-foot facility, is scheduled for opening sometime next summer. It will host post-hospital recovery, skilled nursing and long-term care facilities.
Dan Marick, regional director of SCC Healthcare Group, said Ector County was chosen as the site for the company's seventh facility for two reasons. One was that area was recommended by Smithers Merchant Builders, a San Antonio firm that does all of SCC's facilities construction. "We're partners with them in finding locations in the state of Texas that would be effective for a skilled nursing facility, and Odessa-Midland has certainly popped up," he said.

Design Decisions: Head to the hills for rehab
January 03 2012
In the heart of Texas' hill country, Westover Hills Rehabilitation and Healthcare, of San Antonio, integrates the region's southern charm and famous scenery to help long-term and short-term residents feel right at home. The community, which encompasses more than 43,000 square feet, provides skilled nursing services, short-term rehabilitation and outpatient rehabilitation. The building, which was completed just under its budget of $9.2 million in April 2011, designates 2,240 square feet to rehabilitation services. The size of the rehabilitation gym is key to a successful recovery, says David Frick, president of Smithers Merchant Builders, which oversaw construction of Westover Hills.
“The large therapy room allows for more advanced therapy equipment. A facility needs a lot of space to accommodate state-of-the-art equipment,” Frick said.
He explained that the building's design was intended to help rehab residents return to their own homes at the earliest possible date. Part of this was achieved by having a separate entrance for the therapy gym, which was designed with elderly patients living on the northwest side of San Antonio in mind.
According to Frick, the campus includes an outdoor courtyard with walking paths, vegetable gardening areas, a putting green, a gazebo, outdoor sitting areas and wide sidewalks. These areas were created to encourage exercise for rehab and long-term care residents, Frick explained.
“Our vegetable gardens are raised so that those residents in wheelchairs can still take part in gardening,” said Tim Crank, president of Heritage Healthcare Company, Westover Hills' parent company. “Everything is wheelchair-accessible, including a sidewalk that goes completely around the facility so that no matter which hallway they live on, they can comfortably get around to our outside areas.”
Indoor design elements enhance the rehabilitation experience, too. Hallway design is a key to this, and other facilities overlook this.
“With recessed sub-stations for our nurses and our consultants to work at, our hallways provide extra storage space for linen carts, medications carts and hydration carts. This helps to keep the hallway clear for our residents to easily get around. We also have a very large activity room built at the end of one of our hallways. This truly has been a blessing for our residents,” Crank stressed.
“Whether a group wants to play bingo or just a few residents want to play dominoes, we have a space for them to do that.”
He touts Westover Hills' in-house television network as a means of helping to make each resident feel like an active member of the community.
“The network allows us to play a movie in our activity room and broadcast it throughout the entire facility,” Crank explained. “Also, if one group goes on an outing, we can videotape it and then play it for our residents who are not otherwise capable of leaving the facility,” Crank explained. |
