Evergreen Nursing Center 

RSH Architects was retained to provide construction administration services for a 74 bed long-term care addition to the three-story Evergreen Nursing Center, which was once occupied by the Knights of Pythias and used as a retirement home.  The designs included new food service facilities, as well as renovations to the laundry area,  employee lounge, and an additional  resident lounge.  Additional renovations were made to adapt the original building for use as a 45 bed personal care facility.  These included 7 additional patient beds, new physical therapy facilities, a relocated activities area, dietary office, and a "canteen" lounge serving the residents and their families.  


RSH Architects designed an additional long-term care wing consisting of 17 patient rooms, which was made to allow for an increase of 10 residents without additional support areas, and an expansion of patient rooms in the future.  It features a resident lounge with a vaulted ceiling and large window areas overlooking Little Connoquenessing Creek, as well as a  nurse's station, office facilities for the Director of Nursing, central bathing, and a hair salon.   

Externally, RSH redesigned the entrance drive, parking lots and receiving drive to improve site circulation and save a large stand of trees along the drive and entrance to the facility.  A sizeable courtyard was also incorporated into the facility to allow for supervised outdoor activities for the residents.
