North Carolina State Veterans Home – Salisbury Completes Major $5M+ Renovation
Salisbury, North Carolina (June 9, 2022) – North Carolina State Veterans Home – Salisbury, a member of the PruittHealth family of providers, recently completed more than $5 million in renovations on the center to improve the daily lives of the veterans it serves and upgrade the working environment for caregivers.
The multi-phase renovation took place on the first and second floors of the building, including a 3,000- square-foot addition to an existing 64,000-square-foot building. The project also updated veteran rooms, nurse stations, corridors, offices, and added a new conference room with ample space for events and activities. The addition also includes a new courtyard, where veterans can enjoy fresh air and sunshine in a secure environment. The renovations provide more space for veterans to participate in daily activities. A virtual tour of the improvements can be accessed here.
“We are thrilled to offer the veterans we serve these updated spaces and amenities. The expanded courtyard means more veterans and their families can gather outdoors with extra private space for more intimate time together. Our veterans tell us the fresh and clean environment improve their mood and general day-to-day experience. The updated nurse stations are more spacious, making some operations more efficient and improving response time to veterans’ needs,” says Sally Davis, the center’s administrator.
Resident Billy Cline, an Army veteran, said, “I think it’s lovely and beneficial in several ways. I enjoy watching movies every morning while the activity staff brings me coffee in the new recreation room. I also love the beautiful scenery while playing bingo. I enjoy sitting in the courtyard on sunny days with my family and simply being able to push myself outside at any time to enjoy the weather. It’s been worth the wait!”
