The $6 million Vancrest of Ada nursing home includes 56,000-square-foot. When full, it will have 50 beds for skilled nursing care and 32 assisted living units within the main facility. Rehab services will be available when it opens. Vancrest of Ada will employ 75 to 85 people.

The facility is located West North Avenue (State Route 81), across from Ada schools.

Vancrest owner and president, Mark White, is a graduate of ONU. The new facility offers new avenues for ONU’s allied health sciences program by providing students with possible internships, practical hands-on experiences and volunteer opportunities.

It also may provide ONU's nursing and pharmacy students with possible research and practical teaching opportunities.
