           CommCare Corporation, a non-profit organization, will construct 75 private rooms, along with two additional 8-bed neighborhoods
at its Wynhoven Health Care Center site with the purpose of expanding and enhancing the continuum of care for members of the
community. The project will be built in phases with the first phase (Phase 1) being the construction of two additional 8- bed private
room neighborhoods adjacent to the site of its facility operating as Wynhoven Health Care Center in Marrero, LA. These two 8-bed
neighborhoods will be separately licensed as ICF/DD to provide care for residents with special needs. CommCare Corporation is
working in collaboration with St. Andrew's Village (SAV), a Louisiana 501(c)3 corporation. The mission of St. Andrew's Village is to
provide a loving, secure community where adults with all degrees of developmental disabilities can live, work, worship and
socialize throughout their lifelong journey. In Phase 1, CommCare Corporation is using its approximately $6.0 MM capital outlay
funding to support the construction of SAV. The second phase (Phase 2) will construct 75 private rooms extending the Wynhoven
facility. This expansion will create 164 private rooms, whereas now, Wynhoven only has 10 private rooms. These rooms will be
built in accordance with national best practice standards required for nursing hone private rooms. In addition to the expansion and
enhancement of care for the community, the project will also include improvements and modifications to the existing facility. Site
work will include demolition, grading, drainage, paving and utility work including new parking areas, driveways, a service drive,
sidewalks, courtyards and covered walkways and access to laundry and kitchen service areas. The overall construction plan
includes new kitchen and laundry facilities and a new therapy gym.
