The Sitrin Expansion Project

Sitrin's Expansion Project

Breaking new ground to serve our community.

Sitrin's $38 million Expansion Project is bringing regional residential care services up to a whole new level. Like our previous initiatives, this project introduces the community to innovative resources not previously available within the local area. This is truly another Sitrin "First" – breaking ground for the next generation of quality long-term care.

Three Components

Component 1 – (Complete)

Construction of Residential-Style Houses for Long-Term Care

This innovative project represents the leading edge in long-term care services. Sitrin's new residential-style homes will offer skilled nursing care in a remarkably home-like environment. Constructed as a neighborhood of individual residences, each of these facilities will be home to a small number of individuals, with comforts, features, and a level of privacy that promote personal dignity and excellent quality of life.

Nine homes (eight will accommodate 12 people, one will accommodate 14)
Private bedroom and bathroom for each resident
Living room with large picture windows, a fireplace, and flat screen television
Family-style dining room
Covered, heated walkways for easy access to neighboring houses
A large community center for special events, activities, and gatherings

Sitrin is the first health care provider to receive approval from the New York State Department of Health to build residential houses for long-term care. In addition to being a unique resource for area families, this care community will also be a model for skilled nursing care throughout New York State.

Component 3 – (In Progress)

Renovation of Former Nursing Home Wings for Inpatient Medical Rehabilitation

Sitrin is relocating its inpatient rehabilitation unit to the two former nursing home wings that are vacant now that residents have moved into the new homes. This area will include 46 larger, private rooms and bathrooms, meeting patient demand for more privacy and convenience.

With the restructuring, ten beds will be designed for the special needs of people with health problems due to obesity, increasing Sitrin's bariatric beds to 11. Approximately five rooms are also planned for individuals with medically complex conditions and significant physical impairments, such as ALS or Parkinson's disease. The larger accommodations will allow space for specialized equipment, which will help patients become more independent with activities of daily living, and provide greater control over their surroundings.

Renovations are expected to be complete by the fall of 2009.
