2. No Drive-up Front Entry The new drive way in the front of the center will provide a one way access to the new front lobby and overhead canopy. It will provide a quiet entry for prospective families and residents, The new front entry, with the addition of canopy and lobby, will have a calming, welcoming affect compared to the 3 junction corridor congestion the center has now. The new square footage in the front lobby will provide more visiting space for residents, their families and visitors. 3. Congested Rear Entry This will be resolved with relocation of entry way to basement for staff, the new Northeast entry for visitors, families, vendors, and new front entry for prospective residents, and their families. 4. Four Locations for Resident Dining The new dining room proposed for the north side will have the square footage needed to accommodate all residents in two shifts. The key is now food will be served in one location - not four locations, The food quality and dining room efficiency will be enhanced for residents, Adequate space will be available for wheelchairs, which is not the case at present. 5. Lack of Office Space The three new offices built into the front area will help enhance total office space in the center. New requirements have necessitated adding new personnel over the years. The building hasn't caught up to new regulations in staffing requirements, such as staff development, case management, social workers, volunteer coordinator, chaplain, and others. We make due with several personnel in one office, which is crowded and inefficient. 6. Physical Therapy in the Basement By adding the dining room, we can relocate activities to the old dining room space. It then makes it possible to move physical therapy (P.T,) from the basement to the current activity room, This will allow residents to stay on the same floor where they currently reside when they go for P, T. treatments instead of riding the elevator to the basement. The location upstairs allows for easy access of our new therapy room for outpatient P. T. to the community, 2
