JAMAICA PLAIN, Mass.—The Armenian Women’s Welfare Association (AWWA) is excited to announce new renovation plans for the Armenian Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (ANRC), the esteemed nursing and rehabilitation residence in the Greater Boston community. The renovations began in October 2024; the interior work is expected to be completed by January 2025, while the exterior portion of the project is slated to be finished in fall 2025. ANRC provides both short-term rehab and long-term care for area families.
The renovations will be handled by Applied Form + Space (AFS), a prominent architectural firm based in Andover, Massachusetts. The plans call for an extensive overhaul of both design and function to better service ANRC’s elder members.
“We are delighted to collaborate with Applied Form + Space on this project,” said Wendy Segrest, executive director and president of AWWA and ANRC. “Their expertise in well-designed interior and exterior spaces perfectly aligns with our mission to provide a nurturing, comfortable and welcoming environment.”
In terms of interior spaces, upgrades will feature a more formally designated intake lobby that is inviting in style and concept, as well as an enhanced and upgraded design for the residents’ rooms. The building’s exterior will include upgrades that are both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound, focusing upon accenting the outdoor areas of reflection with abundant landscaping and foliage. There will be additional covered sitting spaces for outdoor relaxation, including an outdoor fireplace and tables for dining and socializing. Notably, all areas have been designed to honor the Armenian heritage.
Segrest added, “We are so thrilled to install what we hope is the first of many functional and aesthetic upgrades to ANRC in the coming years. Our goal is to improve the level of care, programs and amenities for our residents and families at ANRC.”
The Armenian Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is conveniently located at 431 Pond Street in Jamaica Plain. For more information about the residence, please email info@awwainc.org, call 617-522-2600 or visit www.awwainc.org.
