One version of the renovation plans called for the kitchen to be moved slightly, allowing renovation in the kitchen to proceed in stages that would have taken most of a year, said Director Barry Parks.
Plans now call for the kitchen to stay the same size and continue in the same location.
Closing the kitchen entirely for three months would mean the nursing home would have to prepare and cook food off-site and truck it to the nursing home where it would be plated and served. The expense of cooking at a remote location and transporting the food is still less than the cost of renovating the kitchen more slowly, Parks said. Providing good meals is an essential part of the nursing home's job, not just nutritionally, but for morale reasons.
