Capacity of The New Hospital
Initial plans for the new Laguna Honda envisioned a capacity of 1,200 residents, but steeply rising construction costs required that the project be scaled back. The site of a planned fourth building, with a capacity of 420, will add parking capacity to the campus. In addition, plans to construct 250 units of assisted living were also put on hold. To move into the scaled-down facility, the hospital suspended most admissions during part of 2008 and 2009, accepting new residents only in the Rehabilitation Center, the Positive Care program and the hospice.

“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
