What We Did

We developed an innovative modified "X" shaped design with a central nurse station, optimizing staff efficiency in this 60-bed facility. The memory care household, comprising 14 beds, features dining, activity, and living areas that open onto a covered patio overlooking a secure courtyard. To address the varying South Texas climate, we created two courtyards opening in opposite directions, providing different degrees of shelter. A living room with a stone fireplace offers a cozy environment for intimate family visits. We incorporated multiple communal spaces, including two sitting rooms flanking the nurse station, a large activity room, and a TV room, to enhance resident engagement. The dining room opens onto a patio overlooking an additional courtyard, further connecting residents with the outdoors. Our design also includes all necessary peripheral support areas, ensuring a fully functional facility in this remote location.
