As a faith-based ministry, Elim Rehab and Care Center recognizes the importance of an individual’s spiritual growth and care. To complement these tenets, the center recently completed a major $4 million, 18,500-square-foot renovation and expansion of its Fargo, N.D., facility that created 20 private single-occupancy rooms and made rehabilitation services more accessible and person-centered. St. Paul, Minn.-based Pope Architects was retained by the center for repositioning its Fargo campus through master planning, architectural and interior design.
The first phase, completed in March 2012, included converting shared rooms to private, adding a new 20-bed transitional care unit, and adding new dining, lounge and therapy space to revitalize the campus. The design creates neighborhoods within the existing care center with decentralized dining and activity areas to build community among staff and residents.
