Danvers, MA – Nauset Construction Corporation has broken ground on a 72,000sf healthcare facility in Danvers for College Street Partners. The $20 million project, which will be known as the Hathorne Hill Rehabilitation Center, began initial site work in August, with construction scheduled to be completed by December 2012. College Street officials expect the center to be able to serve patients and residents by the summer of 2013.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by representatives from College Street Partners, Nauset Construction, tenant SunBridge Healthcare and architect JSA, Inc., as well as state and local elected officials.
The Center is being built on a nine-acre site across from Beverly Hospital at Danvers, approximately two miles from Cedar Glen Care and Rehabilitation Center. The Cedar Glen facility is owned and operated by SunBridge Healthcare and it will transfer its operations to the new Hathorne Hill Rehabilitation Center upon completion.
The project will create a state-of-the-art skilled nursing center that will serve up to 120 patients and residents.
The building will feature a personalized model of care developed by JSA and SunBridge that embraces a shift in healthcare culture. Three “neighborhoods” will accommodate up to 40 patients each. The neighborhood settings showcase home-like amenities such as fireplaces, with access to outdoor spaces and attractive courtyard settings.
Hathorne Hill Rehabilitation Center’s primary offering will be short-term rehab services along with residential senior care. The center is designed to help patients recover quickly – many within 30 days or less – from orthopedic or reconstructive surgery, trauma or a neurological condition.
