South Coast Improvement Adopts ICRA Matrix in Construction and Renovation of Care Facilities

South Coast Improvement, one of the largest design, construction and management companies in the Northeast has adopted and implemented the Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Matrix of Precautions for Construction and Renovation of long-and short-term care and senior care facilities.

The ICRA Matrix was developed primarily for the hospital setting however South Coast Improvement owner Tom Quinlan believes that the implementation of this formal set of precautions is extremely beneficial in the long term care, short term care and senior living setting as they share many similar characteristics as the traditional hospital.

It is a multidisciplinary, organizational documented process for construction and renovation that takes into consideration a facility’s patient population and program.

The program takes into consideration the following:

Impact of disrupting essential services to patients and employees.
Determination of the specific hazards and protection levels for each.
Assessment of external as well as internal construction activities.
Locations and handling of known hazards.
According to Quinlan, “The matrix looks at the scope of work being done, where in the facility it is being done and clearly defines the precautions to be taken based on the nature of the work to be done. Essentially, it calls for more precautions and better clean up practices depending on what work is being done, where in the facility it is being done and who is affected.”

By utilizing the ICRA Matrix in long and short term care and senior living environments, South Coast Improvement provides the maximum protection against infection to sensitive clientele.

South Coast Improvement Completes Construction and Renovation at Willow Creek Rehab and Care Center – Twice

South Coast Improvement, one of the largest design, construction and management companies in the Northeast, completed construction and renovation on Willow Creek Rehabilitation and Care Center, a 180 bed skilled nursing center located in Somerset, NJ. South Coast Improvement completed the project twice – before and after Hurricane Irene.

In early 2011, South Coast Improvement was contracted to provide a full renovation to Willow Creek Rehabilitation and Care Center. They successfully completed the job on time and within budget. The project scope included: the creation of STAR (Specialized Therapy and Rehabilitation) Wing within the facility; the addition of a dedicated entrance to the STAR Wing with porte-cochere; the creation of an enlarged OT/PT Gym; new construction of a 600 square foot Spa/Hydrotherapy room; construction of a new STAR Dining Room with custom millwork, solid surfaces and a Presentation Cooking Space; construction of new Staff Lounge/Locker Rooms; full renovation of all common areas and Administrative Offices; full upgrade of 168 rooms; construction of two custom nurses stations and new patient rooms from underutilized floor space; construction of a new Cyber Café and numerous building envelope improvements.

In the summer of 2011, Hurricane Irene devastated Willow Creek Rehabilitation and Care Center‘s entire facility, leaving it submerged in three feet of water. South Coast Improvement renovated the entire facility again, installing new walls, finishes, flooring, fixtures, millwork and HVAC. South Coast Improvement designed a functioning temporary egress plan and worked with town officials to secure permission to open 30 percent of the facility (The Traumatic Brain Injury Unit) in 30 days while the remainder of the facility was being renovated. The company mobilized crews to work seven days a week with multiple shifts to ensure the project‘s successful completion within 110 days.

Once construction was concluded, Willow Creek Rehabilitation’s owner hosted a grand Appreciation Lunch for South Coast Improvement and all the subcontractors for facilitating the center’s reopening in a timely manner.
