Saying that the future of health care will be shaped by collaborative relationships, officials from Toledo-based ProMedica and HCR ManorCare announced plans Thursday to jointly build a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center. <\/p>\n
The multimillion-dollar facility will be built on the ProMedica Flower Hospital campus in Sylvania, and ultimately replace ProMedicas 200-bed Lake Park rehab facility. <\/p>\n
Officials said the goal of the new facility is to improve how patients make the transition from regular hospitals to their own homes. <\/p>\n
Lake Park has served the community very well for almost 50 years, but this is an opportunity to write that next chaper and build a state-of-the-art facility,\" said Randy Schimmoeller, senior vice president of operations for ProMedica Continuing Care Services Corp. <\/p>\n
The proposed 120-bed facility would have 24-hour skilled nursing care, a special gym, more private rooms equipped with flat-screen televisions, and more on-site personal care services, including a barber shop and beauty shop. HCR ManorCare recently opened similar facilities in Michigan, New Jersey, and Washington state and has a project in the works near Cleveland. <\/p>\n
Officials said the center will be more like a home and less like a hospital. <\/p>\n
When you look at skilled nursing facilities, todays standard is more like a home setting, a home-type model. One hundred twenty beds is kind of the standard, Mr. Schimmoeller said. We want this to be a facility that has that feel, and as we go forward well develop transitional plans for patients and manage it in a way that were meeting all the needs of the patients. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
