Therapy starts here...
We are proud to partner with Key Rehabilitation to provide a full range of inpatient and outpatient therapy services—all conveniently located within our facility. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or looking to regain strength and mobility after an illness or injury, our experienced therapy team is here to support your journey to better health and independence.
Each therapy plan is tailored to the individual, ensuring that you receive the right care, at the right pace, with achievable goals that promote lasting progress.
One of the most valuable aspects of our therapy program is its accessibility. You do not need to be a resident of our nursing home to benefit from these services. We warmly welcome members of the community who are in need of therapy, offering a convenient and high-quality option close to home. Whether you're transitioning from a hospital stay, recovering at home, or simply looking for expert rehabilitative care, our team is ready to help.
Hospice starts here...
We understand the importance of providing compassionate care and unwavering support during life’s journey. Hospice care is a specialized service designed for individuals who are in the advanced stages of a terminal illness and have chosen to focus on comfort, dignity, and quality of life, rather than pursuing treatment.
We partner with a number of hospice teams that proivde hospice services in addition to our palliative care. Our hospice program is centered around the belief that every individual deserves to live each day with as much peace, comfort, and fulfillment as possible. The primary goal of hospice is to ensure that residents are free of pain and distressing symptoms, allowing them to remain physically comfortable and emotionally at ease.
Hospice care goes beyond just managing physical health—it encompasses the emotional, social, and spiritual needs of each resident. Our interdisciplinary team works closely with residents and their families to create a personalized care plan that honors the individual’s wishes, values, and cultural preferences.
We also recognize the vital role families play during this time. Our hospice teams offers guidance, counseling, and respite to loved ones, helping them navigate this difficult journey with compassion and clarity.
Skilled Services starts here...
Skilled nursing care is designed for individuals who require 24/7 support due to serious or chronic health conditions, post-hospital recovery, or complex medical needs, such as stroke, heart disease, diabetes, or neurological conditions. We offer comprehensive, compassionate care, that goes beyond basic assistance—focusing on clinical excellence, safety, and quality of life.
We provide support with everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility. We offer rehabilitative therapies to help residents regain strength, function, and independence.
We believe in creating a nurturing environment that supports emotional well-being and meaningful connection.
Individuals can receive both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. If you or your loved one needs transitional care after a hospital stay or rehabilitation, our facility is equipped to meet those needs.
Assisted Living starts here...
Assisted living is a thoughtfully designed residential care option that supports individuals in maintaining their independence while receiving assistance with daily activities. We provide a welcoming and safe environment where residents receive personalized support with tasks such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and meals- allowing residents to live with dignity, comfort, and as much autonomy as possible.
Our facility is ideal for those who do not require the continuous medical attention provided in a nursing home but still benefit from a helping hand in their day-to-day lives.
Residents are empowered to care for their own needs during quiet evening and overnight hours, from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Each resident is given an emergency pendant.
Our community offers a vibrant and engaging lifestyle. Residents enjoy access to communal dining areas where they can share meals and conversation with neighbors. A wide range of social, recreational, and wellness-focused activities are available daily, encouraging participation, connection, and a sense of purpose.
At our assisted living facility, we strive to create more than just a place to live—we foster a community where residents can thrive in comfort, safety, and companionship.
Long-term Care starts here...
Long-term care refers to a wide range of services that support people who need assistance with their health or personal care over an extended period of time. These services are designed to help individuals live as safely and independently as possible when they are no longer able to manage everyday activities on their own.
Whether due to illness, injury, or disability, long-term care supports their physical, emotional, and social well-being. This care may include help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, eating, medication management, and mobility.
At its core, long-term care is about preserving dignity, ensuring safety, and enhancing quality of life. It focuses not only on medical needs, but also on creating a supportive environment where individuals can continue to engage in meaningful activities and maintain personal connections.
