The three wings of the center are L-shaped. The nurses' station for each wing is at this point. There are actually two desks at the station, one for each arm of the L-shaped wing. Different wings are further distinguished by number of floors. The assisted living residence consists of two floors, skilled nursing is on the first floor of the other two wings, and the second and third floors of one of those wings houses sub-acute care.
Color also is used to identify the different areas.
For example, in the three-story building, the corridors are either golden yellow, forest green or bright purple. Finally, each building has its own name for greater individual identity. The assisted living residence at Washoe Village gives seniors the independence of their own apartment suite, the convenience of prepared meals, housekeeping services and help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing and medication management. The building has a separate entry for residents and guests. Situated close to a parking area, the entry allows assisted living residents to feel independent from the rest of the facility.
