Diakonos Group Forges Ahead with New Skilled Nursing Construction Amid COVID-19

Securing state permission to build a skilled nursing facility in Oklahoma involves a lengthy certificate-of-need (CON) process — one that has to start months in advance. And because of that length of time, one operator finds itself launching new construction amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Diakonos Group on May 14 announced the start of construction for a new post-acute rehabilitation facility in the Oklahoma City area, called Parc Place Medical Resort, which is scheduled to open in February 2021.

The new facility, which will feature 75 private rooms, is broken up into three houses, according to a press release
