"Since she has been here she has become so much more alive. She is always clean and involved with many activities. She is well-loved and the staff treats her like she is part of their own family. She feeds herself more now than she ever did before. I cannot thank the staff enough. It is a great feeling to know your mom is in such good hands."

Care Options

Long-Term Care

Long-term care is needed when the care needs of an individual has exceeded what can be provided in the home or in any other setting such as assisted living.

Long-term care can be traditional or memory care. Because of behaviors, certain memory care units are secured to keep the individual safe. In both areas of long-term care, activities and stimulation are designed to assist the resident and meet them where they are.

Short-Term Rehab

For those times when you need additional therapy or medication management post hospital stay with the goal of returning to your home. Short-term rehab gives you the confidence to return to life as you know it, despite post-surgical fatigue or a new deficit. Physical, occupational and speech therapy can all be part of a short-term rehab plan.

Memory Support & Alzheimer’s Care

Those with Alzheimer’s and memory loss need an environment that will promote success. Memory care can be provided in long-term care facilities, assisted living residences and adult day health centers. Memory care staff has specialized training to handle situations and confusion that arise with the change of brain health. Appropriate activities and stimulation help those with memory loss enjoy a more successful experience diminishing the fears that can be seen with memory loss.
