Signature HealthCARE recently celebrated the groundbreaking of its $22 million Signature Healthcare of Elizabethtown, which is to be purchased and owned by the California-based Sabra Health Care REIT Inc. The Louisville-based Signature HealthCARE, whose major line of business is running nursing homes, will be in charge of recruitment, management of the building, and also overseeing the health care services provided.
The new 124-bed facility, named Signature Healthcare of Elizabethtown, is to be developed at the site of an already existing 112-bed facility, operated by Signature Healthcare. The new nursing home will take the place of the already existing facility and create jobs for upto 150 full-time and part-time employees. Besides providing 124 beds for long-term care residents, the new facility will also feature several amenities which include 60 private rooms; four nursing stations; two dining rooms; an on-site Dialysis facility; a therapy gym, with cutting edge equipment; and an adjoined outdoor therapy courtyard.
