Provide a summary of the project or program:
           CHATEAU DE NOTRE DAME(Chateau) will construct 3 additional 16-bed private room neighborhoods at its facility operating as Wynhoven Health Care Center (Wynhoven), located in Marrero, that will expand and enhance the continuum of care for members of the community. The neighborhoods will be built to the standards required for nursing home private rooms. 1 16-bed neighborhood will be utilized to provide skilled nursing care for residents transitioning from hospital to home care. Another 16-bed neighborhood will be used to provide care for hospice patients. The 3rd 16-bed neighborhood will provide skilled nursing for residents with special needs. Chateau is working in collaboration with St. Andrew's Village (SAV), a LA. 501(c)(3) corporation, to construct and operate the neighborhood for special needs residents. Wynhoven will be responsible for providing nursing care for these reisdents and SAV will be responsible for developing and coordinating quality of life activities for the special needs residents. The mission of SAV is to provide a loving, secure community where adults with all degrees of developmental disabilities can live, work, worship and socialize throught their lifelong journey. The expansion of Wynhoven will be completed on property currently owned by the Archdiocese of New Orleans which for many years housed the Hope Haven Campus to shelter and educate orphans and other children in need. These facilities have been dormant for the most part in recent years. The addition of a special needs project on the campus is consistent with the history of Hope Haven. Chateau is an agency of the Archdiocese of New Orleans. The master plan calls for later development of an assisted living pavilion on the campus to house business enterprises for the special needs residents to work. We are also hoping that future plans will include a wellness center for the special needs residents. In Phase I, Chateau is requesting $6.0 Million to support the construction of the 3 16-bed neighborhoods.
