The major <br /> goal is: to provide an alternative to skilled nursing home <br /> placement when' the' primary need is a pleasant, safe ' <br /> environment with structured services available. This goal <br /> will be met' by building an additional 55 nursing care beds <br /> and 30.' independent living apartments. <br /> The nursing home beds will be intermediate care. We <br /> presently- are licensed for 128 skilled and 26 intermediate <br /> care beds.,- Over the years we have always maintained a <br /> waiting list. With the increase in the 'number of elderly <br /> citizens wishing to remain in the St. Anthony, northeast <br /> area; and when necessary a lesser- care level at this <br /> facility these additional beds are much needed. <br /> One. floor' of' this proposed' building will be a combination <br /> of' efficiency, one bedroom and two bedroom apartments <br /> equipped with kitchens. These apartments will be designed <br /> for the retirement community. to allow independent living <br /> and privacy as well as security and socializing. <br /> • <br />
