Owner: Peninsula United Methodist Homes |
In 1994, PUMH decided to undertake a major "Phase 1" renovation program at the Methodist Country House, in large part as a result in the changes from congregate living to apartment living. A new 70 apartment three story complex was added at the south end of the existing south wing, housing a combination of one, and two bedroom self contained apartment units. This complex was connected to the existing original building with a pedestrian bridge. Residents now had the opportunity to provide their own meals in their own kitchen, or use the central dining facility. Concurrent with the apartment additions, the existing dining room was expanded to accommodate this increased use. And since the facility was now reaching its 40th birthday, the health care facilities and central administrative areas were upgraded to reflect changes in tecvhnology and the ever changing needs of the modern residents. A new porte cochere and lobby was added to replace the original entrance vestibule. The addition maintained the original building's entrance motif, but better served the facility's new accessibility and life safety needs.
