New Nursing Home Proposed

(From Page 1) by being more energy efficient NURSES' STATIONS, the study said, lack space for doctors' charting and handwashing facilities. There are no treatment/examination rooms that meet code requirements Drug distribution stations are inadequate and do not provide control by nursing or pharmacy staff The reports say the home "does not have an established security system to speak of," the sewer piping is "old and out of date," and all plumbing and accessories "should be redone. " The electric distribution system is called "in good condition." The study said the existing facility could be modernized at a cost of $5.4 million, but 51 beds would be lost during the renovation The answer to that, it said, would be construction of a 51-bed addition. A new building, the study said, would be easier and would not affect bed capacity or patient comfort and safety. CREST HAVEN was built in two phases completed in 1952 and 1959, "at a time

when codes were not as stringent as to^ day." pointed out Freeholder Strum He called the home "the cleanest and best-kept in the county" and said patient care is "extremely good " Code violations have been noted in annual state and federal inspection reports for years, but waivers have been granted with the understanding renovations will be made "We recognize the shortcoming in the existing facility," said F'reeholder James Kilpatrick. "We have to look forward to expanding not just patient, but also staff facilities. "It’s getting to the point where we have to address the issue,” agreed Thornton Strum said the freeholders hope to come out of the April 7 meeting "with a concrete concept and decision " ' MacDonald's study was contracted for in mid-1982, Strum said, at a price not to exceed $21,000 The report is dated Dec. 15. was received by the county on Jan. 6, and was made public last week. •
