Geneva, NE: Heritage Crossings – Construction Update April 2015

Construction Updates
Assisted Living

The eight apartment addition to the assisted living facility in Geneva, Nebraska is progressing well. The construction for the new apartments will be completed by the middle of May. The renovation for a new bathing spa and wellness center for assisted living will be completed at the same time. Renovation involving the expanded dining room for assisted living will begin soon and be completed by the end of June.

This project also involves renovation work within the existing, skilled nursing environment. The existing nurses station will be removed as clinical work areas will be decentralized and relocated down each of the resident corridors. The former location of the main nurses station will be converted to a café/bistro concept for residents, families and guests. This renovation work will also be completed by the end of June.

Construction Updates
Independent Living Cottages

Four cottages are currently being constructed on the vacant land just east of the main building at Heritage Crossings. These 1,600 square foot cottages include two bedrooms, two baths, a walk in closet off of the master bedroom, living room with fireplace, kitchen with senior-friendly appliances, a full laundry room and a two car garage. All steps have been eliminated in the design for greater accessibility. A residential fire sprinkler system has been designed for these cottages to enhance resident safety. The construction of the independent living cottages will be completed by mid-June. The Heritage Crossing campus has been masterplanned for an additional eight cottages in the future.

Steve Hansen, Construction Manager at the VHS Home Office, is managing the construction for both of these projects.
John Sohl, Vetter Health Services Staff Architect is the architect for the work.
