The Community Living Center (CLC) project for the VA Tomah Medical Center campus challenged and inspired PRA’s design team to create something more than just a veteran care center. We hoped to create a home for veterans to age in one place, regardless of how their health may change.

Despite budget challenges and rising healthcare costs, Wisconsin County governments are finding innovative ways to provide high quality care for their aging residents. While part of the formula for success has been leveraging state and federal incentives to “right-size” care facilities, counties have also reduced the financial impact on taxpayers by implementing efficiencies in skilled nursing care.

With the economy struggling to get back on its feet, many long-term care and senior living providers are looking for innovative opportunities that will not only help them survive in the short-term, but improve their industry position over the long term.

Outpatient and inpatient short-term rehabilitation facilities located in skilled care facilities are filling the need when individuals no long require acute care hospital care.
