White Oak of Shelby
White Oak Manor in Shelby, NC expanded and renovated its skilled nursing facility to meet evolving healthcare needs. The project included a 10,000 SF renovation and a new 14,000 SF short-term rehabilitation wing.
Renovation Design That Supports Skilled Nursing
The new wing features 24 private rooms, each with its own bathroom, and a dedicated therapy and rehab suite. Living, dining, and activity areas create a comfortable environment for recovery and daily life. A dedicated entrance, connecting corridor, and front porch help the White Oak addition blend seamlessly with the existing facility.
Renovations improved both function and appearance. Existing four-bed wards were converted into semi-private rooms with full bathrooms, and some semi-private rooms became private rooms with updated baths. Day rooms and nursing stations were opened to the corridor and modernized to match the new design.
A sloped roof was added to the front of the existing facility to reflect the residential character of the historic neighborhood. These updates create a smooth transition between new and old while keeping renovation costs efficient. The result is a welcoming, functional space that enhances skilled nursing and rehabilitation services for seniors.
I appreciate the fact that you are walking alongside of us through this endeavor. Little changes like the shower wall layout, HVAC stands, and a host of other details could be disastrous if someone wasn’t keeping one eye on our compliance requirements, and the other on functionality.”
