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