Our new building!

It's finally done!  The addition at my work place is finished and will soon have people moving into it.  We had our big open house last week and it went very well.  People just loved it and said they wanted to move in themselves.  :)   I got to take groups on tours through it and was able to hear peoples reactions which was lots of fun. 
Prepare for lots of pictures today as I give you a virtual tour.  Sorry, but I'm excited and want to show it off!

 Here's what it looks like on the outside, with the front entrance on the right side of the photo.  The original building attaches near the entrance.

 We had balloons outside for the open house, but the wind was blowing them around.  You can see the original building here also.

The front entry

 Just inside the entry is this sitting area.  To the right is the administrative office, through the door ahead is an enclosed patio with a pergola and fountain, and to the left is a short hall that leads to the new rooms.

This is our admissions office, which just inside the entry.

 This is the hall from the entry, looking back at the seating area.

 This is one of the semi-private rooms.  There is a joint seating area, and a wall between the two sides giving  a lot of privacy. 

Here's another angle that shows how spacious the rooms are.

Here's a closer look at the room.  Each room has it's own heating/cooling system, a flat screen tv, a telephone, a recliner chair, amish made cabinetry and a sink.

This is from the other side of the room, so you can se the cabinets.

 The bathroom doors slide, which is so much easier to deal with when trying to get a walker or a wheelchair into the bathroom!

The bathrooms are just amazing!  The tile work is beautiful, there are rails on either side of the toilet that can be put up or down if people need them, there is a shower in each bathroom with a seat that can fold up when not in use.

This is a view down 2 halls.  Note the wide halls and the arches over the doors.

 There is a huge, open area in the center.  It has a few dining areas...

 Another dining area along with a small seating area.

A kitchenette (Food can be special ordered through the kitchen!)

The nurses station! I should have turned on the light here, but it is so much nicer than our old one!

 Here's some of the goodies that were served during the open house...

We even had a harpist playing!

There are a few separate areas when people can sit or entertain friends and family.

Here's another entertainment spot.  On the other side of that curtain is the existing building which will soon be renovated to match.  One wing will have beds for long term care residents, the other will house a new therapy gym, conference room, a doctors office and a chapel!

I can honestly say we have always taken good care of our residents, but now they get beautiful surroundings too!
