Groundbreaking Held for Eastern Nebraska
Veterans’ Home Expansion |
|||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
|
State leaders and veterans’ home members kicked off the
construction of an expansion to the Eastern Nebraska Veterans’ Home (ENVH)
with a groundbreaking ceremony in Bellevue on March 29th. Currently, ENVH is
just over 120,000 square feet, with 120 licensed beds grouped in four wings:
two 30-bed skilled nursing care wings, 30 assisted living beds, and 30 beds
for skilled dementia care. The expansion, which will add nearly 25,000 square
feet to the facility, will create rooms for 30 new skilled nursing beds and
replace 30 semi-private assisted living beds with 24 private assisted living
beds at the facility, bringing the total number of beds to 144. In addition,
it will provide space to expand services to include an adult day health care
program, a new level of service not currently offered by NDVA. |
