We are excited to inform you that we have officially started the renovation for the last original wing for St. Joseph’s Nursing Home, Inc. The Nursing Home was built in 1959 and originally had only 2 wings with a large Day room. We started out with 40 residents at St. Joe’s. This meant that most of the older rooms were shared rooms.
With more people seeking private rooms for their loved ones, an additional wing was created in 2004. Most of these rooms have a private bathroom and more space. This also increased space in the lower level for a larger activity room. St. Joseph’s now had the capability to take care of 44 residents. Later in 2010 renovations for the Chapel and Parlor area were completed. Through the next ten years renovations have been made for the front entrance and to the original wings. Due to the pandemic, the plans for the last original wing needed to be revised as the State had changed the guidelines for new renovations for nursing homes. The architect worked with new plans which has caused us to completely demolish the back end of a wing. There will be 7 new rooms created with private bathrooms, as well as a new nursing station and sitting room. This new building will take about 18 months. This is exciting for the nursing home, and will still remain a home for 44 residents.
We appreciate your patience at this time, and we hope by this project to continue supporting the community by creating a beautiful addition to the neighborhood!
