Quality Care for our Customers

Our team of professionals, staff, and consultants provide a comprehensive range of services for elders in the skilled nursing facility or assisted living.

MEDICARE CERTIFIED SKILLED SERVICES: We provide inpatient specialized nursing and rehabilitation services for patients who no longer require hospitalization, but due to their medical or physical condition, cannot return home. We provide intensive physical, occupational and speech therapy; 24-hour nursing care and psychosocial programs individualized in meeting the needs of each patient. The goal is assisting patients in achieving their highest level of functioning so they can return to their home.

LONG-TERM NURSING HOME CARE: We provide interdisciplinary care that focuses on meeting the physical and psychosocial needs of each elder. Our philosophy focuses on assisting each resident to maintain an optimal level of self-care and independence. Families of our residents play an important part of our "team" and are encouraged to visit often and participate in developing the individual plan of care.

ALZHEIMER'S SPECIAL CARE UNIT: We provide specialized care for elders with Alzheimer's and other memory loss diseases. Our staff is specially trained to understand the disease and to assess the elder's needs so that we can provide nursing care, therapeutic activities and interventions that are designed to best meet the needs of each elder.
