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.
