Congregate & Hospice Care

This comprehensive renovation in Atascadero transformed an existing 59-bed skilled nursing facility into specialized Congregate and Hospice Care environments designed around comfort, accessibility, and quality of care. The existing building was extensively reconfigured to accommodate an 18-bed Congregate Care facility and a 16-bed Hospice Care facility, requiring a change in occupancy classification along with significant interior, exterior, accessibility, life-safety, and building-system improvements.

The interior was reorganized to provide resident rooms, staff and support areas, reception and administrative functions, and accessible restroom and shower facilities appropriate to the new model of care. Improvements included energy-code-compliant HVAC systems, upgraded fire protection and sprinklers, and updated flooring, cabinetry, lighting, and finishes. Together, these upgrades created a more welcoming residential environment while meeting the functional and durability requirements of a specialized healthcare facility.

Exterior improvements further transformed the property through Mission-inspired architectural elements, including stone-clad walls and columns, arched openings, covered walkways, decorative trellises, and traditional roof detailing. A prominent covered arrival area, new landscaping, and defined outdoor spaces help soften the institutional character of the original facility and establish a warmer residential identity. Through thoughtful adaptive reuse, the project gave an existing healthcare property a new purpose while creating supportive and dignified environments for residents, families, caregivers, and staff.
