Clancy & Theys Construction Company provided construction management in building Transitions Lifecare. It is the first stand-alone hospice facility in Wake County. The project included the construction of three separate steel frame structures with brick veneer on metal studs totaling 47,000 SF. These buildings include 1,047 SF of spiritual sanctuary, a two-story, 27,467 SF administration building, and a 20-bed, 19,256 SF hospice facility. Patient rooms are 300 SF and have double doors that open to a courtyard. Medical devices are concealed to help create a home-like environment. The center also features a family kitchen and dining room, a family living room, laundry facilities, family offices, reflection room, lobby and reception area, nurse’s station, and three patient wings.
Recently Cancy & Theys completed an expansion to the hospice facility. The project included adding 10 new inpatient beds, allowing for the daily care of up to 30 patients, and 7,600 SF to the facility. The expansion features a new family room, two nurses’ stations, a charting room and a secure medical storage room. Further, Clancy & Theys upgraded the entire facility’s back up oxygen system to include an automated switch over in the event of a primary oxygen malfunction.
We demolished two sunrooms on the ends of each wing to tie the expanded facilities into the existing structure. We altered both processes and tools to limit noise and help foster a sensitive, peaceful atmosphere for hospice patients and their families.
The facility remained operational during construction.
